Teaching robots to manipulate objects with humanlike dexterity has long been one of robotics' toughest challenges. Tasks such as rotating an object in-hand or coordinating two robot arms to maneuver a ...

The concept of this toolbox is a hierachy of dynamic system objects, from the most generic representation (any non-linear differential equations) to more system specific representations such as ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for fast collision detection in high dimensional configuration spaces for Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT) motion planning. The proposed method is ...

Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test. As a long-time drone ...

SINGAPORE – The weatherman in early February declared the onset of La Nina, a climate phenomenon that often brings rain and cooler weather to Singapore. But the cooling effect will not be as ...

Many organismal traits such as collective behavior are emergent in the sense that traits at one level of biological organization are irreducible to lower-level traits. Researchers have identified ...

SINGAPORE – Relying heavily on texting to connect with others during the Covid-19 pandemic piqued Mr Alexander Tsai’s interest in artificial intelligence (AI), sparking a passion he has carried into ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a rapidly-exploring random trees (RRT) algorithm to solve the motion planning problem for hybrid systems. At each iteration, the proposed algorithm, called HyRRT, ...

With the advance in algorithms, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) offers solutions to trajectory planning under uncertain environments. Different from traditional ...

Influenza A virus (IAV) genomes are composed of eight single-stranded RNA segments. Genetic exchange through reassortment of the segmented genomes often endows IAVs with new genetic characteristics, ...

Evolutionary biologists have long been interested in studying the tempo and mode of emergence and extinction of species. One widely used approach to study rates of speciation and extinction is the ...
