Implementing Speed and Separation Monitoring in Collaborative Robot Workcells

August 1, 2016
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel, Richard J. Norcross
We provide an overview and guidance for the speed and separation monitoring methodology as presented in the International Organization of Standardization's technical specification 15066 on collaborative robot safety. Such functionality is provided by

Addressing Perception Uncertainty Induced Failure Modes in Robotic Bin-Picking

May 3, 2016
Author(s)
Krishnanand N. Kaipa, Akshaya S. Kankanhalli-Nag, Nithyananda B. Kumbla, Shaurya Shriyam, Srudeep Somnaath Thevendria-Karthic, Jeremy Marvel, Satyandra K. Gupta
We present a comprehensive approach to handle perception uncertainty to reduce failure rates in robotic bin-picking. Our focus is on mixed-bins. We identify the main failure modes at various stages of the bin-picking task and present methods to recover

Bayesian Calibration of Transferable, Coarse-Grained Force Fields

April 15, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas W. Rosch, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Paul Patrone
Generating and calibrating forces that are transferable across a range of state-points remains a challenging problem in coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD). In this work, we present a Bayesian correction algorithm, inspired by ideas from

A comparison of methods for sketch-based 3D shape retrieval

December 13, 2013
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil
Sketch-based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. To foster this research area, two Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC) tracks on this topic have been organized by us in 2012 and 2013 based on a small

Feature-preserved 3D Canonical Form

July 28, 2012
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Zhouhui Lian
Abstract Measuring the dissimilarity between non-rigid objects is a challenging problem in 3D shape retrieval. One potential solution is to construct the models’ 3D canonical forms (i.e., isometry-invariant representations in 3D Euclidean domain) on which

Improving Quantum Clocks via Semidefinite Programming

July 26, 2012
Author(s)
Michael J. Mullan, Emanuel H. Knill
The accuracies of modern quantum logic clocks have surpassed those of standard atomic fountain clocks. These clocks also provide a greater degree of control, as before and after clock queries, we are able to apply chosen unitary operations and measurements

Evaluation of Segmentation Algorithms on Cell Populations Using CDF Curves

February 24, 2012
Author(s)
Robert C. Hagwood, Javier Bernal, Michael W. Halter, John T. Elliott
Cell segmentation is a critical step in the analysis pipeline for most imaging cytometry experiments and the segmentation algorithm can effect the quantitative data derived from image analysis. Methods to evaluate segmentation algorithms are important for

Smart Phone Tool Specification

April 23, 2010
Author(s)
Richard Ayers
This paper defines requirements for mobile device applications capable of acquiring data from smart phones operating over a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) network and a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, and test methods used to
