Variable ankle stiffness improves balance control: experiments on a bipedal exoskeleton
(IEEE, 2016-02)This paper proposes a real-time balance control technique that can be implemented to bipedal robots (exoskeletons, humanoids) whose ankle joints are powered via variable physical stiffness actuators. To achieve active ... -
A variable neighborhood search based matheuristic for a waste cooking oil collection network design problem
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Households produce large amounts of waste cooking oil (WCO), which should be disposed properly to avoid its negative impacts on the environment. Using WCO as raw material in biodiesel production is an effective disposal ... -
Variable-sized bin packing problem with conflicts and item fragmentation
(Elsevier, 2022-01)In this paper, we study the Variable-Sized Bin Packing Problem with Conflicts and Item Fragmentation (VSBPPC-IF) that has applications such as (i) the delivery planning of incompatible items using a fleet of heterogenous ... -
Variational bayesian multiple instance learning with gaussian processes
(IEEE, 2017)Gaussian Processes (GPs) are effective Bayesian predictors. We here show for the first time that instance labels of a GP classifier can be inferred in the multiple instance learning (MIL) setting using variational Bayes. ... -
Variational closed-Form deep neural net inference
(Elsevier, 2018-09)We introduce a Bayesian construction for deep neural networks that is amenable to mean field variational inference that operates solely by closed-form update rules. Hence, it does not require any learning rate to be manually ... -
The variational method, backreactions, and the absorption probability in Wald type problems
(Springer, 2021-01-19)We argue that the variational method in Wald type thought experiments, involves order of magnitude problems when one imposes the fact that δM is inherently a first order quantity itself. One observes that the contribution ... -
Vector and axial-vector couplings of D and D⁎ mesons in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD
(Elsevier, 2013-02-12)Using the axial-vector coupling and the electromagnetic form factors of the D and D⁎ mesons in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD, we compute the D⁎Dπ , DDρ and D⁎D⁎ρ coupling constants, which play an important role in describing ... -
Vehicle-to-infrastructure visible light communications: Channel modelling and capacity calculations
