An overwhelming diversity of colloidal building blocks with distinct sizes, materials and
tunable interaction potentials are now available for colloidal self-assembly. The application …

This review article examines the role of selenium (Se) and the effects of Se supplementation
especially in the bovine species. Selenium is an important trace element in cattle. Some of …

Loco-manipulation planning skills are pivotal for expanding the utility of robots in everyday
environments. These skills can be assessed on the basis of a system's ability to coordinate …

Simulation with realistic, interactive agents represents a key task for autonomous vehicle
software development. In this work, we introduce the Waymo Open Sim Agents Challenge …

Any solid object can be decomposed into a collection of convex polytopes (in short,
convexes). When a small number of convexes are used, such a decomposition can be …

Teleoperation is a crucial tool for collecting human demonstrations, but controlling robots
with bimanual dexterous hands remains a challenge. Existing teleoperation systems …

In this article, we present a metaheuristic-based control framework, called beetle antennae
olfactory recurrent neural network, for simultaneous tracking control and obstacle avoidance …

We present a new optimization-based approach for robotic motion planning among
obstacles. Like CHOMP (Covariant Hamiltonian Optimization for Motion Planning), our …

Approximate convex decomposition aims to decompose a 3D shape into a set of almost
convex components, whose convex hulls can then be used to represent the input shape. It …

In this paper, we present CHOMP (covariant Hamiltonian optimization for motion planning),
a method for trajectory optimization invariant to reparametrization. CHOMP uses functional …
