Bimanual rope manipulation skill synthesis through context dependent correction policy learning from human demonstration

Akbulut, B.; Girgin, T.; Mehrabi, Arash; Asada, M.; Ugur, E.; Öztop, Erhan (IEEE, 2023)

Learning from demonstration (LfD) with behavior cloning is attractive for its simplicity; however, compounding errors in long and complex skills can be a hindrance. Considering a target skill as a sequence of motor primitives ...

Bin packing problem with conflicts and item fragmentation

Ekici, Ali (Elsevier, 2021-02)

In this paper, we study the Bin Packing Problem with Conflicts and Item Fragmentation (BPPC-IF) which has applications in the delivery and storage of items that cannot be packed together. Given a set of items each with a ...

Biocompatible MOFs for storage and separation of O2: A molecular simulation study

Gülçay, Ezgi; Fındıkçı, İlknur Eruçar (American Chemical Society, 2019-02-27)

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are great candidates for capturing 02 due to their highly porous structures and tunable physical and chemical properties. In this study, we assessed the performance of 1525 biocompatible ...

Biomaterials applications of chemical mechanical polishing

Başım, Gül Bahar; Özdemir, Zeynep; Mutlu, Ö. (IEEE, 2012)

Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is used in semiconductor industry to enable planarization of the interlayer dielectrics and metals. In this study, CMP is used as a polishing technique to modify the surface roughness ...

A biomimicry design for nanoscale radiative cooling applications inspired by Morpho didius butterfly

Didari, Azadeh; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-15)

In nature, novel colors and patterns have evolved in various species for survival, recognizability or mating purposes. Investigations of the morphology of various butterfly wings have shown that in addition to the pigmentation, ...

Biomimicry designs for passive optical solutions for nanoscale radiative cooling applications

Didari, Azadeh; Mengüç, Mustafa Pınar (SPIE, 2018)

Inspired by the mechanism of the wings of Morpho butterfly, here we propose biomimicry designs which have the potential to be used for radiative cooling purposes. We numerically analyzed the spontaneous emission at near-field ...
