Sorting algorithms are a common exercise for new programmers, and for good reason: they introduce many programming ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on two main aspects in industrial production: material handling and material sorting. The aim was to design and fabricate a mechatronic device that is able to sort ...

Abstract: Tactile sensing is a particularly important and challenging task for a modern robot to safely manipulate objects, interact with humans in a shared space, and provide various services. This ...

Understanding the core principles of computer programming is the first step to writing effective code. Learning about ...

In a hangar-like building in Louisville, Colorado, outside Denver, crumpled plastic bottles, cans and other scraps were strewn across a giant conveyor belt. But you know what they say about one man’s ...

When a delicate object crashes onto the floor, most people expect it to shatter into several pieces. What they might not know, however, is that the sizes of those fragments—whether from a broken plate ...

Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) aims to detect and associate all desired objects across frames. Most methods accomplish the task by explicitly or implicitly leveraging strong cues (i.e., spatial and ...

A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...
