This paper considers the use of electromagnetic pulses (EMP) to inject transient faults into the calculations of a hardware and a software AES. A pulse generator and a 500 um-diameter magnetic coil were used to inject the localized EMP disturbances without any physical contact with the target. EMP injections were perfo... |
Generally, ecological approaches toward obstacle avoidance employ "optic flow" as visual information. However, it is difficult to apply those approaches to navigations of a robot in the "real world", since optic flow is obtained through a complex image processing. In this paper, we proposed a method based on brightness... |
We study the problem faced by a wireless service provider (SP) when offering a “sponsored content” service to multiple content providers (CPs). Each CP specifies the value that it would obtain from additional content views together with estimates on the underlying demand for its content. The SP then determines which CP... |
Most current hand exoskeletons have been designed specifically for rehabilitation, assistive, or haptic applications to simplify the design requirements.
