Scalable Full Posterior Inference for Uncertainty-Aware Robot Perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
Robot perception is crucial for both fully autonomous systems, like self-driving cars, and human-centric devices such as mixed reality glasses. While advances have been made in perception problems like simultaneous ...
Fast Parameter Learning in Adaptive Systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
Adaptive control pertains to the control of dynamic systems exposed to parametric uncertainties in real-time with guarantees of stability and control goals of tracking. A central part of adaptive control is parameter ...
Analytical and computational methods for non-Gaussian reliability analysis of nonlinear systems operating in stochastic environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
Statistical problems arise in many areas of ocean engineering, such as ship seakeeping, structural reliability, and design, and can be caused both by uncertainty in materials and construction, and by the inherently stochastic ...
Optimality of human acoustic perception of natural sounds, and violin acoustics elucidated with a non-corporeal musical instrument made by fully air-coupled finite-element-modeling of the Titian Stradivarius
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
By Weber’s Law, just-noticeable-differences of a stimulus grow in proportion to the stimulus. From hundreds of measurements of naturally scintillating environmental sound signals, Weber's law is found to be a consequence ...
High-order Discontinuous Galerkin Methods and Deep Reinforcement Learning with Application to Multiscale Ocean Modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
With the expanding availability of computational power, numerical modeling plays an increasingly pivotal role in the field of oceanography, enabling scientists to explore and understand ocean processes which are otherwise ...
Novel High-throughput Technologies for Applications in Microbiology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
Electroporation, a widely used gene delivery technique for bacterial transformation, involves applying an electric field to increase cell membrane permeability. However, the traditional cuvette-based protocol is laborious, ...
Design of an Affordable, Precise Irrigation Controller that Lowers the Barrier to Water- and Energy-Sustainable Agriculture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)
With climate change and population growth exacerbating global food insecurity, it has become urgent to establish more water- and energy-efficient means to raise agricultural production. Available techniques to bolster crop ...
