Learning From Demonstration and Interactive Control of Variable-Impedance to Cut Soft Tissues

Aude Billard, Rui Wu

In this article, we propose an approach to extract variable-impedance during cutting tasks from human demonstrations, so as to ease soft-tissue cutting by robots. We model the dynamic adjustment of the human arm during interactions with the tissue and tran ...

Current Limiting in Overload Conditions of an LLC-Converter-Based DC Transformer

Drazen Dujic, Jakub Kucka

The dc transformers based on an LLC converter operated in open loop near resonant frequency have several crucial advantages compared to other topologies. These advantages are the stiff voltage ratio with a natural power flow, the dc grid isolation via medi ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wave ...

Simultaneous autoregressive models for spatial extremes

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

Motivated by the widespread use of large gridded data sets in the atmospheric sciences, we propose a new model for extremes of areal data that is inspired by the simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) model in classical spatial statistics. Our extreme SAR model ...
