Vehicular sensing-based intelligence has made substantial progress in transportation systems, leading to higher levels of safety and sustainability for smart cities and autonomous systems. This paper …
Alberto Isidori's framework of geometric nonlinear control, and particularly of feedback linearization, is the inspiration behind PDE backstepping: apply a transfromation of the state to cast the plan…
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems represent a safety-critical national interest, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS No…
This paper presents a planning pipeline framework for locomotion in rope-assisted robots climbing vertical surfaces. The proposed framework is formulated as a bi-level optimization scheme that address…
Monitoring physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) in daily life is essential for characterizing individual health and metabolic status. Although indirect calorimetry provides gold-standard PAEE m…
Large 3D SIMP studies require repeated elasticity solves for density-dependent operators whose finest matrices are expensive to assemble and whose conditioning degrades under high contrast. We study t…
This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based event-triggered controller design for networked artificial pancreas (AP) systems. Although existing DRL-based AP controllers typically ass…
The time-dependent deformation of concrete, particularly creep, remains a key challenge for reliable and material-efficient design. Experimental results show that tailored preloading, short-term loads…
Computational constraints permeate the controller design process, and yet are rarely treated as explicit design constraints. Towards addressing this gap, we propose a quantitative framework that captu…
Precise synchronization is essential in various technical disciplines, being especially challenging in mobile scenarios. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art global navigation satellite system (GNSS) disci…
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-…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are emerging as a unified substrate for embodied intelligence. This shift raises a new class of safety challenges, stemming from the embodied nature of VLA systems,…
We present Move-Then-Operate, a Vision language action framework that explicitly decouples robotic manipulation into two distinct behavioral phases: coarse relocation (move) and contact-critical inter…
The Terahertz (THz) band (0.1-10 THz) has emerged as a critical frontier for future communication systems, offering ultra-wide bandwidths that enable Terabits-per-second (Tbps) wireless links and high…
Respiratory airflow signals provide critical insight into breathing mechanics, yet conventional analysis methods remain limited in their ability to characterize the internal structure of individual br…
The real-world deployment of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remains limited by the risk of unpredictable and irreversible physical harm. However, we currently lack effective mechanisms to proacti…
Thanks to the latest advances in learning and robotics, domestic robots are beginning to enter homes, aiming to execute household chores autonomously. However, robots still struggle to perform autonom…
Variable impedance model predictive control (MPC) formulations that treat joint stiffness as an instantaneous decision variable operate on a feasible set strictly larger than the physically realizable…
This paper introduces PHOTON (PHysical Optical Tracking of Notes), a non-invasive optical sensing system for measuring key-lever motion in historical keyboard instruments. PHOTON tracks the vertical d…
Wheel-legged robots combine the efficiency of wheeled locomotion with the versatility of legged systems, enabling rapid traversal over both continuous and discrete terrains. However, conventional desi…
