Deep learning is promising to enhance the accuracy and reduce the overhead of channel state information (CSI) feedback, which can boost the capacity of frequency division duplex (FDD) massive multiple…
The computation of time-optimal velocity profiles along prescribed paths, subject to generic acceleration constraints, is a crucial problem in robot trajectory planning, with particular relevance to a…
Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become powerful tools across domains-from industry to the arts. In documentary filmmaking, they offer dynamic, otherwise unreachable perspectives, tran…
Recent advances in text-to-speech synthesis have achieved notable success in generating high-quality short utterances for individual speakers. However, these systems still face challenges when extendi…
We develop automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for stories told by Afrikaans and isiXhosa preschool children. Oral narratives provide a way to assess children's language development before they…
Robot art presents an opportunity to both showcase and advance state-of-the-art robotics through the challenging task of creating art. Creating large-scale artworks in particular engages the public in…
One of the commonly used seismic force-resisting systems in structures is Reinforced Concrete (RC) Intermediate Moment Frames (IMF). Although using the IMF is not allowed in high seismic hazard zones …
In today's digital landscape, journalists urgently require tools to verify the authenticity of facial images and videos depicting specific public figures before incorporating them into news stories. E…
To investigate how the auditory system processes natural speech, models have been created to relate the electroencephalography (EEG) signal of a person listening to speech to various representations o…
Purpose: Manual annotations for training deep learning (DL) models in auto-segmentation are time-intensive. This study introduces a hybrid representation-enhanced sampling strategy that integrates bot…
Robot teleoperation has been studied for the past 70 years and is relevant in many contexts, such as in the handling of hazardous materials and telesurgery. The COVID19 pandemic has rekindled interest…
In this paper we describe Robofriend, a robotic teddy bear for telling stories to young children. Robofriend adapts its behavior to keep the childrens' attention using reinforcement learning.…
Objective: Thigh muscle group segmentation is important for assessment of muscle anatomy, metabolic disease and aging. Many efforts have been put into quantifying muscle tissues with magnetic resonanc…
In the next decade, social robots will be implemented in many public spaces to provide services to humans. We question the properties of these social robots to afford acceptance and spontaneous emotio…
Decoding speech from brain activity is a long-awaited goal in both healthcare and neuroscience. Invasive devices have recently led to major milestones in that regard: deep learning algorithms trained …
The ubiquitous planes and structural consistency are the most apparent features of indoor multi-story Buildings compared with outdoor environments. In this paper, we propose a tightly coupled LiDAR-In…
Will the Third World War be fought by robots? This short film is a light-hearted comedy that aims to trigger an interesting discussion and reflexion on the terrifying killer-robot stories that increas…
YOLO is a social robot designed and developed to stimulate creativity in children through storytelling activities. Children use it as a character in their stories. This article details the artificial …
Channel Coding has been one of the central disciplines driving the success stories of current generation LTE systems and beyond. In particular, turbo codes are mostly used for cellular and other appli…
BACKGROUND: The story of one of Australia's most well-known women in history, Vivian Bullwinkel, is a symbol of strength for nursing. She and her companions who were prisoners of war during World War …
