This paper examines the problem of coordinating the observations of multiple agents constrained to periodic trajectories that communicate asynchronously with a central planner. We are motivated by settings such as active monitoring missions tracking stochastic and spatially spreading events like wil…
Unlike traditional cameras, event cameras measure changes in light intensity and report differences. This paper examines the conditions necessary for other traditional sensors to admit eventified versions that provide adequate information despite outputting only changes. The requirements depend upon…
This paper proposes a new loss function for linear autoencoders (LAEs) and analytically identifies the structure of the associated loss surface. Optimizing the conventional Mean Square Error (MSE) loss results in a decoder matrix that spans the principal subspace of the sample covariance of the data…
In robot swarms operating under highly restrictive sensing and communication constraints, individuals may need to use direct physical proximity to facilitate information exchange. However, in certain task-related scenarios, this requirement might conflict with the need for robots to spread out in th…
This paper presents a new recursive information consensus filter for decentralized dynamic-state estimation. Local estimators are assumed to have access only to local information and no structure is assumed about the topology of the communication network, which need not be connected at all times. It…
