Abstract: In this work, we propose a trajectory optimization approach for robot navigation in cluttered 3D environments. We represent the robot's geometry as a semialgebraic set defined by polynomial ...

Abstract: This article presents a very large-scale integration (VLSI)-based multirun decremental annealing (MRDA) accelerator for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). The proposed Ising ...

As we continue to agonize over the fate of highly radioactive nuclear waste — and local cities throw their weight behind an effort to move San Onofre’s to higher ground on Camp Pendleton — we’d like ...

Last year, we celebrated 50 years since the first papers on fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) were published. It wasn't a wild celebration with masses on the streets, nor was it widely ...

There was a host of issues to discuss following the Buffalo Bills’ 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night. Turnovers were a problem, and so were penalties. The Buffalo defense faltered ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

The Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints are two vessels sailing in opposite directions. After Buffalo's 12-point win last Sunday, it is 4-0 and a Super Bowl contender in the AFC. The Saints are 0-4 ...
