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…
Models of sign language have historically lagged behind those for spoken language (text and speech). Recent work has greatly improved their performance on tasks like sign language translation and isol…
In 2014, Michal Lewicki and Andrzej Olbry\'s proved that if a real valued function $f$ defined on the real line satisfies the conditional functional equation \[ f(tx + (1-t)y) = t f(x) + (1-t) f(y),\q…
As with every emerging technology, new tools in the hands of artists reshape the nature of artwork creation. Current frameworks for robotics in arts deploy the robot as an autonomous creator or a coll…
The interplay between unconventional magnetism and band topology in two-dimensional materials has emerged as an important theme in condensed matter physics. Here, we present first-principles calculati…
World models of embodied agents predict future observations conditioned on an action taken by the agent. For complex embodiments, action spaces are high-dimensional and difficult to specify: for examp…
Christoph, Dragani\'{c}, Gir\~{a}o, Hurley, Michel, and M\"{u}yesser conjectured that, when $d\mid n$, the expected number of cycles in a uniformly random cycle-factor of a directed $d$-regular graph …
Network Slice as a Service (NSaaS) is a key enabler of Beyond Fifth Generation (5G) and Sixth Generation (6G) networks, supporting next-generation applications such as extended reality (XR), immersive…
Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is a critical yet conceptually challenging area of the undergraduate computer science curriculum. While students often encounter these concepts in theory, few …
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 …
To grow the quantum information science and technology workforce, opportunities for students to gain experiential learning and build a sense of belonging in the broader community are essential. The Un…
This study examined the barriers and enablers of online instruction in hospitality education. A sequential exploratory design was implemented with hospitality teachers from both public and private hig…
This paper describes the design and implementation of a two-day quantum hackathon for underrepresented high school students in Nova Scotia, Canada. The first day of the hackathon is spent introducing …
Touchless interaction with medical images is becoming increasingly important in the surgical field, where sterility and continuity of the operational workflow are essential requirements. This work pre…
Partially-observed time series (POTS) is ubiquitous in real-world applications, yet most existing toolchains separate missing-value handling from downstream learning, which limits reproducibility and …
We present a data-driven approach for physics-based, muscle-driven dexterous control that enables musculoskeletal hands to perform precise piano playing for novel pieces of music outside the reference…
International student mobility plays a critical role in shaping future research careers, particularly in highly globalized fields such as astrophysics. The Leiden/ESA Astrophysics Program for Summer S…
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 …
We prove that on a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over a finite field of large characteristic, if a complex-valued invariant function $f$ and its Fourier transform $\hat f$ are both supported i…
Evaluating the pinch capability of a robotic hand is important for understanding its functional dexterity. However, many existing grasp evaluation methods rely on object geometry or contact force mode…
