Learning to Detect Collisions for Continuum Manipulators without a Prior Model
Shahriar Sefati, Shahin Sefati, Iulian Iordachita +2
Due to their flexibility, dexterity, and compact size, Continuum Manipulators (CMs) can enhance minimally invasive interventions. In these procedures, the CM may be operated in pro…
End-to-End Fine-Grained Action Segmentation and Recognition Using Conditional Random Field Models and Discriminative Sparse Coding
Effrosyni Mavroudi, Divya Bhaskara, Shahin Sefati +2
Fine-grained action segmentation and recognition is an important yet challenging task. Given a long, untrimmed sequence of kinematic data, the task is to classify the action at eac…
Walking dynamics are symmetric (enough)
M. Mert Ankaralı, Shahin Sefati, Manu S. Madhav +3
Many biological phenomena such as locomotion, circadian cycles, and breathing are rhythmic in nature and can be modeled as rhythmic dynamical systems. Dynamical systems modeling of…
Feedback Control as a Framework for Understanding Tradeoffs in Biology
Noah J. Cowan, Mustafa Mert Ankarali, Jonathan P. Dyhr +7
Control theory arose from a need to control synthetic systems. From regulating steam engines to tuning radios to devices capable of autonomous movement, it provided a formal mathem…
