(2013-09-25)
Traditional hearing aids do not work well in a noisy environment. In a cocktail party scenario, we receive sound from difference sources. In this case, hearing aids amplify noise and signal at the same time. As a result, ...
Tools for User Modification of Optimal Roadmaps
(2013-09-26)
Robotic motion planning is a ubiquitous field of study, with innumerable applications in sci-
ence, engineering, and beyond. At its core, however, motion planning is infeasible for many
complex problems. Sampling-based ...
