Here, rel _thrust is the normalized thrust value between 0 and 1, and rel _signal is the normalized moto...

Lens test rig: On some of these lenses, it is possible to remove the part at the back of the lens called the "Fixed Shell" (that has the labels and possibly focus A/M and/or VR switches) and replace everything that had to be taken off to get to it. This naked ;-) lens will then mount on a camera and operate normally bu...

Yes. Aluminum is one of the most sustainable building materials available. It is 100 recyclable without loss of quality, and nearly 75 of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. Compared to steel and glass, aluminum has a lower carbon footprint during production, is lighter per cubic inch, and requires less...

The First Apple Computer Wozniak tried to sell his computer design to HP, but they rejected it five times. In the end, it would be their loss. After Jobs suggested they sell the computer as an assembled circuit board, the pair decided to give it a go. Woz sold his HP calculator and Jobs his Volkswagen van to get the pr...

Now, onto my favorite part about any engineering project: the electronics! In a nutshell, the main electronics are pretty simple to understand: the battery power gets split and directed between the 4 individual motors and the control board. The control board decodes the signals sent by the controller and taking that in...

Robust federated learning aims to maintain reliable performance despite the presence of adversarial or misbehaving workers. While state-of-the-art (SOTA) robust distributed gradient descent (Robust-DGD) methods were proven theoretically optimal, their empirical success has often relied on pre-aggregation gradient clipp...

As seen in the previous step, the point cloud produced by a lidar scan can be quite a challenge to understand, even for a human. But localization requires exactly that — an understanding of the scan. A huge amount of research has been done on the subject. In effect, surfaces get represented by lines or line segments, a...

For all of its lifetime, Iron Reign has been a school-sponsored program. This is a tradition we intend to keep and we've specifically been looking at recrtuitment efforts in our home school - School of Science and Engineering - as well as our sister school - School for the Talented & Gifted. Over the summer, TAG is hav...

It could be argued that as all technologies need to pass certain regulatory processes, the legal aspects pertinent to AAL have been addressed. The relevant regulations such as the GDPR cover the collection, use, processing and sharing of personal data. Consumer protection laws deal with the safety of components used in...

I got two Duralast batteries at Autozone to replace the two Yuasas. I decided to try the Duralasts because they are readily available off the shelf. They are identical in size to the Yuasas, but the terminals are slightly different -- just enough so that I had to replace a couple of the copper fittings I use to connect...
