The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
The majority of existing tracking algorithms are based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution of a probabilistic framework using a Hidden Markov Model, where the distribution ...
In free-floating mode, space manipulator systems have their actuators turned off, and exhibit nonholonomic behavior due to angular momentum conservation. The system is underactua...
Past work has suggested that query execution feedback can be useful in improving the quality of plans by correcting cardinality estimation errors in the query optimizer. The state...
