Abstract—Recent years have seen a trend in using graphic processing units (GPU) as accelerators for general-purpose computing. The inexpensive, single-chip, massively parallel ar...
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to design an optimal non-uniform scalar quantizer for distributed video coding, which aims at achieving a coding rate close to joint co...
Abstract— For robotic manipulation tasks in uncertain environments, good force control can provide significant benefits. The design of force-controlled actuators typically revo...
