The "Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition" (ARIAC) is an international robotic competition carried out in a simulated ROS2/Gazebo factory floor. Competitors control a robot, overcoming a range of agility challenges in this simulated

De-Identifying Government Datasets: Techniques and Governance

September 14, 2023
Author(s)
Simson Garfinkel, Joseph Near, Aref Dajani, Phyllis Singer, Barbara Guttman
De-identification is a general term for any process of removing the association between a set of identifying data and the data subject. This document describes the use of deidentification with the goal of preventing or limiting disclosure risks to

Vision on metal additive manufacturing: Developments, challenges and future trends
