As long as computers continue to get more CPU processing power, data centers need to optimize their power usage. We can do this and maintain the same complexity level as before by...
The increased complexity of today's distributed, composite, Web-based systems presents difficult and unique systems management problems. The way these systems interact, and th...

Legged autonomous vehicles move by executing patterns of leg-joint angles known as gaits. Synthesizing gaits by hand is a complex and time-consuming task which becomes even more c...
An egomotion estimator that makes use of the complementary strengths of inertial and visual readings is introduced in the context of efficient and robust realtime motion estimatio...
We examine the problem of finding a single meeting location for a group of heterogeneous autonomous mobile robots, such that the total system cost of traveling to the rendezvous i...

In this paper we introduce the Fourier tag, a synthetic fiducial marker used to visually encode information and provide controllable positioning. The Fourier tag is a synthetic ta...
This paper proposes a technique for real-time recognition of facial Identity and expression which uses the active appearance model (AAM) with efficient second order minimization al...
This article presents an approach to Programming by Demonstration (PbD) to simplify programming of industrial manipulators. By using a set of task primitives for a known task type,...
