Modeling wind-driven object dynamics from video observations is highly challenging due to the invisibility and spatio–temporal variability of wind, as well as the complex deformations of objects. We present DiffWind, a physics-informed differentiable framework that unifies wind–object interaction mo…
This paper investigates the importance and design implications for use of rectangular blocks in collective robotic construction systems with distributed control. Specifically, we introduce an automated solver for optimizing the overlaps in user-specified structures; a new robot design capable of man
One of the key challenges of visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in large-scale environments is how to effectively use global localization to correct the cumulative errors from long-term tracking. This challenge presents itself in two main aspects: first, the difficulty for robots in…
