A novel tandem-free solution for multiparty VoIP conferences called PASS (Peer-Aware Silence Suppression) is presented. Similar to traditional tandem-free solutions, PASS introduc...
Most real world objects consist of non-uniform materials; as a result, during deformation the bending and shearing are distributed non-uniformly and depend on the local stiffness ...
We present a probabilistic method for path planning that considers trajectories constrained by both the environment and an ensemble of restrictions or preferences on preferred mot...
Commercial cloud offerings, such as Amazon's EC2, let users allocate compute resources on demand, charging based on reserved time intervals. While this gives great flexibilit...
Mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps to operate in unknown environments. A fundamental problem is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot be used to assign ...
