Despite advances in dexterous hand manipulation, robotic hand design is still largely decoupled from task-driven evaluation and control, limiting systematic optimization. Existing robotic hand co-desi…
Robotic systems that interact with the physical world must reason about kinematic and dynamic constraints imposed by their own embodiment, their environment, and the task at hand. We introduce KinDER,…
Dexterous robot hands offer rich opportunities for multifunctional manipulation, where a robot must execute multiple skills in sequence while maintaining control over previously grasped objects. Most …
In practical early-stage battery-electric vehicle studies, analysis workflows may become fragmented across spreadsheets, notebooks, and project-specific scripts, making reuse, audit, and extension har…
In this paper, we present the Electric Mobility Dial-a-Ride Problem (EM-DARP), which extends the Electric Vehicle Dial-a-Ride Problem (EV-DARP) to better accommodate human-focused mobility services. T…
This study investigates the kinematic role of palm degrees of freedom (DoF) in enhancing thumb opposability in a five-finger robotic hand. A hand model consisting of a five DoF thumb and four fingers …
The current practice of dexterous manipulation generally relies on a single wrist-mounted view, which is often occluded and limits performance on tasks requiring multi-view perception. In this work, w…
In the design stage of robotic hands, it is not straightforward to quantitatively evaluate the effect of phalanx length ratios on dexterity without defining specific objects or manipulation tasks. The…
We present a soft corrugated tube sensor designed to estimate strain in each half segment. When air flows through the tube, the internal corrugated cavities induce pressure oscillations that excite th…
Modern world models are becoming too complex to admit explicit dynamical descriptions. We study safety-critical contextual control, where a Planner must optimize a task objective using only feasibilit…
Computing Fourier transforms of k-sparse signals, where only k of N frequencies are non-zero, is fundamental in compressed sensing, radar, and medical imaging. While the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) e…
High-DOF dexterous hands require compact actuation, rich sensing, and reliable thermal behavior, but conventional designs often occupy valuable in-hand space, increase end-effector mass, and suffer fr…
We study the controllability of a linear KdV-Schr{\"o}dinger equation on the one-dimensional torus via purely imaginary bilinear controls. Considering controls spanning a suitable finite number of Fou…
Optimization using network traffic models requires computing gradients of objective functions with respect to model parameters. However, derivation of such gradients has often been considered difficul…
Imitation learning is a powerful paradigm for training robotic policies, yet its performance is limited by compounding errors: minor policy inaccuracies could drive robots into unseen out-of-distribut…
A $G$-normal random variable $X\sim \mathcal{N}(0,[\underline{\sigma}^2,\overline{\sigma}^2])$ does not admit a unique probability law due to volatility uncertainty. For a given test function $\phi$, …
Deep stochastic state-space models enable Bayesian filtering in nonlinear, partially observed systems but typically assume a fixed latent structure. When this assumption is violated, parameter adaptat…
Dexterous robotic manipulation requires more than geometrically valid grasps: it demands physically grounded contact strategies that account for the spatially non-uniform mechanical properties of the …
This paper addresses the decentralized coordinated charging problem for a large population of battery storage agents (e.g. residential batteries, electrical vehicles, charging station batteries) using…
We propose ScalarFedLQR, a communication-efficient federated algorithm for model-free learning of a common policy in linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control of heterogeneous agents. The method builds…
