Point and Go: Intuitive Reference Frame Reallocation in Mode Switching for Assistive Robotics
Operating high degree of freedom robots can be difficult for users of wheelchair mounted robotic manipulators. Mode switching in Cartesian space has several drawbacks such as unintuitive control reference frames, separate translation and orientation control, and limited movement capabilities that hinder performance. We propose Point and Go mode switching, which reallocates the Cartesian mode switching reference frames into a more intuitive action space comprised of new translation and rotation …

Framework supporting far-right racists?
The problem is that OSS (and especially FLOSS) is inherently political. The idea that we (and not some company controlled by billionaires) should have the final say over how we use our devices is political. The idea that software should be free to modify and transparent to users is political, as it puts control (and therefore power) in the hands of the users (rather than the company or organization making the software). The other, more specific problem here is that Framework made this politica…

Electric-Field Control of Josephson Oscillations in Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates
We study the dynamic behavior of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with dipolar interactions when the influence of external electric fields affects the coherent tunneling properties. Here, we propose a tunable platform based on BECs where Josephson oscillations can be engineered and modulated through external electric fields. We develop a theoretical and numerical frame-work that reveals how electric fields affect intercondensate tunneling, phase dynamics, and collective excitations. By employin…

Fixed-Time Voltage Regulation for Boost Converters via Unit-Safe Saturating Functions
This paper explores the voltage regulation challenges in boost converter systems, which are critical components in power electronics due to their ability to step up voltage levels efficiently. The proposed control algorithm ensures fixed-time stability, a desirable property that guarantees system stability within a fixed time frame regardless of initial conditions. To tackle the common chattering issues in conventional fixed-time control methods, a novel class of function families is introduced…

J4CC, A Frame for Communication Control
Politics increasingly faces conflicts that appear irreconcilable, where one party's requirements directly contradict those of another. We propose J4CC, a frame for mapping how four forces (Power, Capital, Morality, and Knowledge) influence rule-making. J4CC provides a jargon for analyzing rule-making conversations. Beyond ideas about framing (Lakoff 2004; Rein & Schön, 1996), it draws on ideas from legal theory (Fuller 1967), institutional economics (Coase 1937), anthropology (Douglas 1992), a…

Multi-State Modeling of Greenhouse Cucumber Yield Dynamics Under Microclimate Effects
Greenhouse decisions often rely on static thresholds, yet crop output switches among microclimate-driven regimes. We frame daily cucumber yield as transitions among three ordered states and fit a continuous-time, covariate-dependent multistate model. Data come from four greenhouse compartments in Volos, Greece (24 lines, 62 days). States are defined once from control tertiles and applied across compartments. Transition intensities depend on within-compartment z-scores of relative humidity (RH),…

FARM: Frame-Accelerated Augmentation and Residual Mixture-of-Experts for Physics-Based High-Dynamic Humanoid Control
Unified physics-based humanoid controllers are pivotal for robotics and character animation, yet models that excel on gentle, everyday motions still stumble on explosive actions, hampering real-world deployment. We bridge this gap with FARM (Frame-Accelerated Augmentation and Residual Mixture-of-Experts), an end-to-end framework composed of frame-accelerated augmentation, a robust base controller, and a residual mixture-of-experts (MoE). Frame-accelerated augmentation exposes the model to high-…

Talking Head Generation via AU-Guided Landmark Prediction
We propose a two-stage framework for audio-driven talking head generation with fine-grained expression control via facial Action Units (AUs). Unlike prior methods relying on emotion labels or implicit AU conditioning, our model explicitly maps AUs to 2D facial landmarks, enabling physically grounded, per-frame expression control. In the first stage, a variational motion generator predicts temporally coherent landmark sequences from audio and AU intensities. In the second stage, a diffusion-base…

Stacked Intelligent Metasurface-Enhanced Wideband Multiuser MIMO OFDM-IM Communications
Leveraging the multilayer realization of programmable metasurfaces, stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) enable fine-grained wave-domain control. However, their wideband deployment is impeded by two structural factors: (i) a single, quasi-static SIM phase tensor must adapt to all subcarriers, and (ii) multiuser scheduling changes the subcarrier activation pattern frame by frame, requiring rapid reconfiguration. To address both challenges, we develop a SIM-enhanced wideband multiuser transceiv…

How candidates evoke identity and issues on TikTok
Social media platforms are increasingly central to campaign communication, with both paid (advertising) and earned (organic) posts used for fundraising, mobilization, and persuasion. TikTok, and other short-form video platforms, with its short-video format and content-driven algorithms, demand unique content. We examine the final six months before the 2024 US Presidential Election to understand how major campaigns used TikTok. We frame our analysis around two political science theories. The fir…

Deep Bilinear Koopman Model for Real-Time Vehicle Control in Frenet Frame
Accurate modeling and control of autonomous vehicles remain a fundamental challenge due to the nonlinear and coupled nature of vehicle dynamics. While Koopman operator theory offers a framework for deploying powerful linear control techniques, learning a finite-dimensional invariant subspace for high-fidelity modeling continues to be an open problem. This paper presents a deep Koopman approach for modeling and control of vehicle dynamics within the curvilinear Frenet frame. The proposed framewo…

Event-Based Visual Teach-and-Repeat via Fast Fourier-Domain Cross-Correlation
Visual teach-and-repeat navigation enables robots to autonomously traverse previously demonstrated paths by comparing current sensory input with recorded trajectories. However, conventional frame-based cameras fundamentally limit system responsiveness: their fixed frame rates (typically 30-60 Hz) create inherent latency between environmental changes and control responses. Here we present the first event-camera-based visual teach-and-repeat system. To achieve this, we develop a frequency-domain …

Vulnerable Agent Identification in Large-Scale Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Partial agent failure becomes inevitable when systems scale up, making it crucial to identify the subset of agents whose compromise would most severely degrade overall performance. In this paper, we study this Vulnerable Agent Identification (VAI) problem in large-scale multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). We frame VAI as a Hierarchical Adversarial Decentralized Mean Field Control (HAD-MFC), where the upper level involves an NP-hard combinatorial task of selecting the most vulnerable agen…

Robust Synchronous Reference Frame Phase-Looked Loop (PLL) with Feed-Forward Frequency Estimation
Synchronous reference frame phase-looked loop (SRF-PLL) techniques are widely used for interfacing and control applications in the power systems and energy conversion at large. Since a PLL system synchronizes its output with an exogenous harmonic signal, often 3-phases voltage or current, the locking of the frequency and phase angle depends on the performance of the feedback loop with at least two integrator terms, and on the distortions of the measured input quantities. For the conventional SR…
