ABSTRACT This paper introduces a new class of optimization problems, called Mixed Pareto-Lexicographic Multi-objective Optimization Problems (MPL-MOPs), to provide a suitable model for scenarios where some objectives have priority over some others....
This work proposes a method to grasp unknown objects with robotic hands based on demonstrations by a skilled human operator. Not only are humans efficacious at grasping with their own hands but are also capable of grasping objects using robotic hands....
Cooperative manipulation is a basic skill in groups of humans, animals and in many robotic applications. Besides being an interesting challenge, communication-less approaches have been applied to groups of robots in order to achieve higher scalability...

With the increasing real-time constraints being put by the automotive scenario on the use of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), there is the need to review information representation. A very challenging path is to employ an encoding that allows a fast...
Control of two-wheeled humanoid robots poses several challenges due to the unstable dynamics of their mobile base and the coupling between the upper and lower body dynamics. The problem is often faced in the literature with methods based on the...
This article presents a system for soft human–robot handshaking, using a soft robot hand in conjunction with a lightweight and impedance-controlled robot arm. Using this system, we study how different factors influence the perceived naturalness, and...
ABSTRACT Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) is a widely studied game that plays an important role in Game Theory. This paper aims at extending PD Tournaments to the case of infinite, finite or infinitesimal payoffs using Sergeyev's Infinity Computing (IC). By...
ABSTRACT In this work we aim at generalizing Pure and Impure PD iterated games when using finite/infinite/infinitesimal payoffs and finite/infinitesimal probabilities, i.e., dealing with non-Archimedean quantities (realm so far investigated only on the...
D eep Neural Networks (DNNs) are being used in more and more fields. Among the others, automotive is a field where deep neural networks are being exploited the most. An important aspect to be considered is the real-time constraint that this kind of...
Autonomous driving techniques frequently need the clustering and the classification of data coming from several input sensors, like cameras, radar and lidars. These sub-tasks need to be implemented in real-time in embedded on-board computing units. The...
The large majority of legged robots currently employ ball-feet or flat-feet. More recently soft feet have been introduced, to improve walking performance on uneven grounds. Nevertheless, their novel adaptability requires sensor systems beyond...
Public administrations need digital archives that are typically maintained as centralized repositories or databases. This solution constitutes a security and trust single-point-of-failure. We have faced with these issues in the case of digitalization...
Abstract: In this paper we consider a resource allocation problem for multi-user MIMO non orthogonal multiple access (MU-MIMO-NOMA) downlink transmissions. Under the NOMA paradigm, users are organized in clusters of strong/weak pair and our aim is to...
Abstract Gold nanoparticle layers (AuNPLs) enable the coupling of morphological, optical, and electrical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with tailored and specific surface topography, making them exploitable in many bioapplications (e.g.,...
