    • Habitat-Lab Quadruped Embodied AI Research 
      Steinhauser, Scott
      With the rise of reinforcement learning, a number of physics engines and frameworks have been used to simulate virtual environments. Additionally, various benchmarks have been popularized in order to assess the ability of ...
    • Hacking the Brain: Opportunities in Soft Wireless Bioelectronics 
      Wilcox, Stephanie A (2018-04-24)
      Traditional techniques used to determine neuron activity in cognitive function, such as penetrating or surface-mounted electrodes, severely limit the comprehensive study of the brain. Such methods confound thermal effects, ...
    • Hand Detection and Body Language Recognition Using YOLO 
      Ananthanarayan, Aashish
      Neural Networks play an important role in real-time object detection. Several types of networks are being developed in order to perform such detections at a faster pace. One such neural network that can prove useful is the ...
    • Hand Held Neutron Detector Development for Physics and Security Applications 
      Baker, William; Campbell, Caitlin E (2013-10-04)
      The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) uses silicon and germanium detectors in the search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP), a candidate for dark matter. Although these detectors are heavily protected with ...
    • Haptic Interactive Deformable Models 
      Riyaj Ahamed, Shafeeq I (2015-10-06)
      Haptic devices are devices that emulate the sense of touch through a force feedback mechanism that enables users to physically interact with virtual objects. This supplementary element of interaction allows users to ...
    • HapticDive: An Intuitive Warning System for Underwater Users 
      Santani, Sneha; Escalante-Trevino, Leslie
      All divers—regardless of skill or activity—are constantly at risk of decompression sickness; mild symptoms can often go ignored, and can also be deadly if left untreated. Currently, divers receive training and carry a dive ...
    • HaptiGo Tactile Navigation System 
      Regmi, Sarin (2012-04-22)
      Tactile navigation systems employ the use of ones sense of touch with haptic feedback to communicate directions. This type of navigation presents a potentially faster and more accurate mode of navigation than preexisting ...
    • Harnessing Certainty to Speed Task-Allocation Algorithms for Multi-Robot Systems 
      Irvin, Denise A
      Some problems are best solved by systems of multiple robots, in which each robot is assigned one task. A multi-robot system can, upon the start of a series of tasks, compute the optimal task allocation for best performance ...
    • Harvest and Isolate Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells from Mice 
      Nguyen, Branden
      Skeletal muscle tissue exhibits many plastic properties, changing its size or function in response to a variety of stressors. This adaptability is due, in part, to satellite cells, a type of multipotent adult stem cell ...
    • Harvesting Ultra-Low Power Wireless Signals in the GHz Range 
      Galloway, Ethan; Rizzi, Giuseppe
      We present methods for harvesting wireless energy as low as -30 dBm (1uW) from the 2.4 GHz frequency range (e.g. WiFi signals) with discrete components. We have constructed a proof-of-concept device which is capable of ...
    • Healing Spaces: Memorial Expression in Guatemalan Genocide Museums and Murals 
      McIntire, Ella Victoria
      Following the signing of the Guatemalan Peace Accords in December 1996 ending the country’s 36-year internal armed conflict, the Commission for Historical Clarification (CEH) was formally established. Its purpose was to ...
    • Heart Rate Variability as a Biomarker for Working Memory Performance and Fatigue Perception 
      Zhang, Yixin
      Fatigue is a debilitating condition especially in the emergency response (ER) domain where long work hours and sustained cognitive demands impede job performance. Typical solutions such as pharmacological aids (e.g., ...
    • Heavy-Atom Tunneling in Ring-Opening Pericyclic Reactions - A Computational Exploration 
      Huff, Molly Eileen (2015-09-04)
      Though ubiquitous in everyday organic reactions, the phenomenon of tunneling must often be corrected for, and the elusive and subtle nature of its appearance in experimental studies allows it to be a continued interest for ...
    • Heroes of Middle Earth: The Hobbit 
      Medlock, Taylor Michaelle (2021-04-20)
      In J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels, the Hobbit is a critical character that is used for the most difficult of tasks, not due to his heroic qualities, but because of the fundamental Hobbit-values of comfort and community; neither ...
    • The Heteromorphism in Category Theory 
      Williams, Christian Barrett (2017-04-27)
      We explore an alternative interpretation to the abstract mathematical subject of category theory, by examining the role of the heteromorphism, a neglected concept in the field, in elucidating central categorical notions.
