Rate as a Feature, Not a Nuisance: Curriculum FiLM Training for Event-Based Graph Neural Networks

Kavyansh Tyagi, Andreas Ziegler

An event camera emits events at a rate given by the scene motion, object texture, illumination, its own contrast thresholds, and other settings. Across the N-Caltech101 dataset, re…

Event-Time Hybrid Optimal Control for Robotic Table Tennis Serves

Thomas Gossard, Till Köpff, Andreas Ziegler

Robotic table tennis serves require high ball velocity and spin while respecting the robot's kinodynamic limits. Unlike rally strokes, a valid serve must also bounce on the server'…
