ABSTRACTION-BASED SAFE CONTROL WITH ALTERNATING SIMULATION-BASED SHIELDS AND ITS APPLICATION TO MOBILE ROBOTS

Abstraction-Based Safe Control With Alternating Simulation-Based Shields and Its Application to Mobile Robots

Abstraction-based formal synthesis with a symbolic control barrier function is useful for obtaining a finite-state safe controller for an infinite system with sporadic disturbances.In the case of multiple mobile robots sharing a common workspace, a controller ensuring arrival to destinations without any collisions is obtained with the symbolic cont

Estimation of the cost-effectiveness of HIV prevention portfolios for people who inject drugs in the United States: A model-based analysis.

BACKGROUND:The risks of HIV transmission associated with the opioid epidemic make cost-effective programs for people who inject drugs (PWID) a public health priority.Some of these programs have benefits beyond prevention of HIV-a critical consideration given that injection drug use is increasing across most United States demographic groups.To ident

DM_CorrMatch: a semi-supervised semantic segmentation framework for rapeseed flower coverage estimation using UAV imagery

Abstract Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) inflorescence coverage is a crucial phenotypic parameter for assessing crop growth and estimating yield.Accurate crop cover assessment is typically performed using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in combination with semantic segmentation methods.However, the irregular and variable morphology of rapeseed inflore
