Collision-free motion is often aided by tactile and proximity sensors distributed on the body of the robot due to their resistance to occlusion as opposed to external cameras. However, how to shape th…
Mobile robots that move between outdoor and indoor environments still struggle with consistent positioning. Satellite-based and terrestrial ranging each work well in their home domains, but combining …
In digital sliding mode control implementations, discretization-induced chattering and inter-sample blindness can severely degrade the closed-loop performance, especially in case of fast perturbations…
Metasurfaces' ability to control electromagnetic wave propagation has led to a rapid paradigm shift in wireless operation. These metasurfaces are often called reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs…
Reliable and secure communication is essential for mission-critical aerospace and defence operations involving autonomous platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), satellites, and ground cont…
We study the problem of distributed control of large-scale robotic swarms which can be modeled as continuum densities evolving under the continuity equation. We propose a formalization of distributed …
We propose VISION-SLS, a method for nonlinear output-feedback control from high-resolution RGB images which provides robust constraint satisfaction guarantees under calibrated uncertainty bounds despi…
This study proposes a portfolio optimization framework that integrates advanced deep learning architectures with traditional financial models to enhance risk-adjusted performance. Using historical dat…
CONCERTO is a millimeter-wave imaging instrument that operated on the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope from April 2021 to May 2023. Its primary scientific objectives include the study of…
The objective of Emergency Medical Services (EMSs) is to promptly respond to calls from citizens for first aid, providing pre-hospital care and, if necessary, to transfer patients to an appropriate Em…
Automated vehicles (AVs) are commonly programmed to yield unconditionally to pedestrians in the interest of safety. However, this design choice can give rise to the Freezing Robot Problem in which ped…
Inefficient driving behaviors, such as overly conservative yielding, remain a key obstacle to deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Instantaneous driving efficiency metrics are crucial for self-dri…
This paper presents a trajectory planning method for articulated commercial vehicles, specifically tractor-semitrailers, based on Model Predictive Contouring Control (MPCC). Although MPCC has proven e…
This paper studies the problem of robot performance evaluation, focusing on how to obtain accurate and efficient estimates of real-world behavior under severe constraints on physical experimentation. …
Line spectral estimation (LSE) involves estimating both spectral frequencies and their associated complex amplitudes. Existing Fisher-information-based benchmarks are local and therefore do not captur…
The sense of family connectedness may support positive outcomes including individual well-being, resilience, and healthy family functioning. However, as technologies advance, they often replace human-…
Autonomous driving systems often infer pedestrian yielding behavior from geometric and kinematic cues alone, limiting their ability to reason about visual scene context and age-dependent behavioral va…
This paper investigates the cross-frequency structure of background clutter induced by random dispersive media in single-snapshot FDA-MIMO-GPR. Representative media are modeled by the Cole--Cole formu…
Wheeled-legged robots combine the energy efficiency of wheeled locomotion with the terrain adaptability of legged systems, making them promising platforms for agile mobility in complex and dynamic env…
Variable flux memory motors, which employ Low Coercive Force (LCF) magnets, achieve extended high-efficiency operation through controllable magnetization states. To address the need for a unified appr…
