The Website can be searched which will probably be quickest to locate a specific manual. Most or all of the downloads were free until recently (2025). Now the typical manu...

Our auton wasn't enabled again because we thought it would cause our robot to crash. Our outtake wasn't working so we ended up using our beater bar to score. We managed to score two pixels but, because of a lack of driver practice and an unconventional and unplanned method of scoring, we knocked them off the backdrop i...

1.Manipulator geometrical and inertial parameters, simulation parameters (see Section 3.2), and desired end-effector trajectory are taken as input.2.A set of joint configurations compliant with the desired end-effector initial position is taken as input.3.A set of weight matrices is generated, each one symmetric with r...

We focused our feedback on 4 major categories: research, robot game, robot design, and core values. Each team decided which presentation to show us and we acted as mock judges to create a realistic atmosphere. We were each given judging rubrics to note growth points, which we d with the teams for their future use. This...

The paper reports a recognizing method base on ultrasonic transducers utilized for the surface types detection. Ultra-sonic signal is transmitted toward the examined substrate, then reflected and scattered signal goes back to another ultra-sonic receiver. Thee measuring signal is generated by a piezo-electric transduce...

Keychain modeling went smoothly, and we ended up getting all the models printed or printing before leaving, and most given to a parent or kid at the event. We got addresses for the leftover few and are planning on sending them off within a day or two. A group of friends worked on a collaberative house, one doing the ro...

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows great potential in assisting radiologists to improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical image interpretation and diagnosis. However, a versatile AI model requires large-scale data and comprehensive annotations, which are often impractical in medical settings. Recent studies levera...

One way to approach this is to run the physical system in the real operational environment. Then you could compare its behavior to your model operating under the same environment conditions. The variance could be calculated once again by looking at the standard deviation of the error.

Sequential decision-making in high-dimensional continuous action spaces, particularly in stochastic environments, faces significant computational challenges. We explore this challenge in the traditional offline RL setting, where an agent must learn how to make decisions based on data collected through a stochastic beha...

I revisited the stress analysis of my flaps more than three years ago (see March 11, 2004), and found that the loads that I assumed when I built them in the first place, some time well back in the twentieth century (why didn't I make my programs print the date on everything?), coincided ly with the new calculations -- ...

Next up is the main structure of the flywheel itself. The Li2D version was made up of a central plate to which the two sides were connected via screws and spacers. This 3d printed plate ended up surviving all of our testing, but it instantly broke due to a short fall onto the foam field tiles. The main structure of Fly...

My vague plan to install an intercooler has advanced to the point that I have more or less decided where it will go. The next step is to find out whether I can make one of the heat exchangers that I have smaller by sawing off one end of it. I have three cores, one of which was originally intended for a 250-hp engine, o...

Optimality of Kalman filtering assumes that errors have a normal (Gaussian) distribution. In the words of Rudolf E. Kálmán , The following assumptions are made about random processes: Physical random phenomena may be thought of as due to primary random sources exciting dynamic systems. The primary sources are assumed ...

Nowadays, some might claim that the brushed DC motors are no longer relevant as the brushless motor has displaced it from many applications. However, that is definitely not the case.

- Backlash : The mechanical play between two or more adjacent gears. - Index : On a quadrature encoder, the output signal that provides one pulse per revolution. - Latchup : Complete failure in an IC, or momentary loss of operation. - Resolution : The number of bits in an output signal, or (for quadrature encoders) the...
