Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Abstract: Qualitative motion reasoning is an important approach to spatial commonsense reasoning. In this paper, we propose a qualitative motion reasoning method based on Voronoi diagrams. The method ...

Abstract: The sampling-based partial motion planning algorithm has been widely applied in real-time mobile robot navigation for its computational savings and its flexibility in avoiding obstacles.

To calculate the Minkowski sum, we move the robot to the point with coordinates (0,0), invert it and then add the coordinates of all obstacles’ corners with each point of the robot. Of course, we have ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

MP-SfM augments Structure-from-Motion with monocular depth and normal priors for reliable 3D reconstruction despite extreme viewpoint changes with little visual overlap. MP-SfM is a ...
