An algorithm is proposed to detect and classify a change in the distribution of a stochastic process that has periodic statistical behavior. The problem is posed in the framework of independent and periodically identically distributed (i.p.i.d.) processes, a recently introduced class of processes to…
A new class of stochastic processes called episodic processes is introduced to model the statistical regularity of data observed in several applications in cyberphysical systems, neuroscience, and medicine. Algorithms are proposed to detect a change in the distribution of episodic processes. The alg…
The design of robots that are light, soft, powerful is a grand challenge. Since they can easily adapt to dynamic environments, soft robotic systems have the potential of changing the status-quo of bulky robotics. A crucial component of soft robotics is a soft actuator that is activated by external s…
