First Plan Then Evaluate: Use a Vectorized Motion Planner for Grasping
Autonomous multi-finger grasping is a fundamental capability in robotic manipulation. Optimization-based approaches show strong performance, but tend to be sensitive to initialization and are potentially time-consuming. As an alternative, the generator-evaluator-planner framework has been proposed. A generator generates grasp candidates, an evaluator ranks the proposed grasps, and a motion planner plans a trajectory to the highest-ranked grasp. If the planner doesn't find a trajectory, a new tr…

I had an eye exam a couple weeks ago. The optometrist recommended progressive bifocals this time. I'd known it was time for a while, so okay.
My employer's VSP plan only covers the basic lenses, ~$75. The lower distortion, anti-reflective coated Nikon lenses are ~$275. If I pick the Nikons, I pay the $200 difference out of pocket.
One thing the optician said is the longer I delay getting my first bifocals, the harder it will be to adjust to how they work. Is this true?

An opportunity to improve Data Center Efficiency: Optimizing the Server's Upgrade Cycle
This work aims to improve a data center's efficiency by optimizing the server upgrade plan: determine the optimal timing for replacing old servers with new ones. The opportunity presented by this approach is demonstrated through a study based on historical server data. The study establishes a significant opportunity to increase the QPS/(TCOxCO2) metric by formulating a global upgrade plan at the data center's design time covering its entire life cycle. This plan leverages information, such as s…
