Spatiotemporal Calibration for Laser Vision Sensor in Hand-eye System Based on Straight-line Constraint
Laser vision sensors (LVS) are critical perception modules for industrial robots, facilitating real-time acquisition of workpiece geometric data in welding applications. However, the camera communication delay will lead to a temporal desynchronization between captured images and the robot motions. Additionally, hand-eye extrinsic parameters may vary during prolonged measurement. To address these issues, we introduce a measurement model of LVS considering the effect of the camera's time-offset a…

I’ve just watched the last of a 5 part series by PBS Nova called “Human” with each episode subtitled with its focus. It is excellent.

I was particularly struck by the last segment, noting that the roots of the Alphabet …

A Note on Subadditivity of Value at Risks (VaRs): A New Connection to Comonotonicity
In this paper, we provide a new property of value at risk (VaR), which is a standard risk measure that is widely used in quantitative financial risk management. We show that the subadditivity of VaR for given loss random variables holds for any confidence level if and only if those are comonotonic. This result also gives a new equivalent condition for the comonotonicity of random vectors.

Quantifying CO2 Distribution at the Air-Water Interface - Spatiotemporally Resolved Measurements Using Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy
The transport of CO2 across the air-water interface plays a critical role in physical oceanography and carbon sequestration. One of the key challenges in understanding such transport processes is their multiscale nature - the spatial and temporal scales of gas- and liquid-phase diffusion, absorption and reaction span over several orders of magnitude, which requires high-resolution diagnostic methods to unravel their detailed dynamics. The current study presents a novel diagnostic method to quan…
