Real-time obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using state-dependent Riccati equation approach

Abstract In this paper, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method-based optimal control technique is applied to a robot. In recent years, issues associated with the robotics have become one of the developing fields of research. Accordi...

Promoting inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics: Addressing challenges for pediatric access

Pediatric access to exoskeletons lags far behind that of adults. In this article, we promote inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics by identifying and addressing challenges and barriers to pediatric access to this potentially life-changing t...

Sensor Fusion and Autonomy as a Powerful Combination for Biological Assessment in the Marine Environment

The ocean environment and the physical and biological processes that govern dynamics are complex. Sampling the ocean to better understand these processes is difficult given the temporal and spatial domains and sampling tools available. Biol...

ASPECTS OF THE REGULATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence is increasingly influential in contemporary society. Isaac Asimov's seminal work, “I, Robot”, introduced the foundational robotic laws that have inspired both fictional and real-world discussions. This study examines...

Laws on Robots, Laws by Robots, Laws in Robots: Regulating Robot Behaviour by Design

Speculation about robot morality is almost as old as the concept of a robot itself. Asimov’s three laws of robotics provide an early and well-discussed example of moral rules robots should observe. Despite the widespread influence of the th...

Quantum logic as motivated by quantum computing

§1. Introduction. Our understanding of Nature comes in layers, so should the development of logic. Classic logic is an indispensable part of our knowledge, and its interactions with computer science have recently dramatically changed our li...

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing performs computations by tapping the very laws that govern quantum mechanics, thereby making those computations far more efficient than does a classical computer. Quantum computers, through qubits and quantum phenomena lik...

Quantum computing with defects

Quantum Internet: Networking Challenges in Distributed Quantum Computing

The Quantum Internet, a network interconnecting remote quantum devices through quantum links in synergy with classical ones, is envisioned as the final stage of the quantum revolution, opening fundamentally new communications and computing ...

Quantum Computing for High-Energy Physics: State of the Art and Challenges

Quantum computers offer an intriguing path for a paradigmatic change of computing in the natural sciences and beyond, with the potential for achieving a so-called quantum advantage—namely, a significant (in some cases exponential) speedup o...

Noise-augmented chaotic Ising machines for combinatorial optimization and sampling

Abstract Ising machines are hardware accelerators for combinatorial optimization and probabilistic sampling, using stochasticity to explore spin configurations and avoid local minima. We refine the previously proposed coupled chaotic bits (...

Recipes for spinbased quantum computing

Abstract. Technological growth in the electronics industry has historically been measured by the number of transistors that can be crammed onto a single microchip. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; spectacular growth in th...

Quantum Computing and Algorithmic Law

Quantum computing technology will greatly enhance the abilities of the emerging field of computational law to express, model, and operationalise law in algorithmic form. Foreshadowing the harnessing of the power of quantum computing technol...

Evidence for the utility of quantum computing before fault tolerance

Abstract Quantum computing promises to offer substantial speed-ups over its classical counterpart for certain problems. However, the greatest impediment to realizing its full potential is noise that is inherent to these systems. The widely ...

A Survey of Quantum Computing for Finance

Quantum computers are expected to surpass the computational capabilities of classical computers during this decade and have transformative impact on numerous industry sectors, particularly finance. In fact, finance is estimated to be the fi...

A Compendium on Distributed Systems

Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm o...

Effective Concurrency Testing for Distributed Systems

Despite their wide deployment, distributed systems remain notoriously hard to reason about. Unexpected interleavings of concurrent operations and failures may lead to undefined behaviors and cause serious consequences. We present Morpheus, ...
