The digital age characterizes the 21-century by the widespread and conscious use of Information Technology, originating the need for organizations to protect one of the most critical and valuable resources: information. Cyber security was born to protect information systems from cyber-attacks....

In this paper, we consider the problem of generating appropriate motions for a torque- controlled humanoid robot that is assigned a multi-contact loco-manipulation task, i.e., a task that requires the robot to move within the environment by repeatedly establishing and breaking multiple, non-...

We present a real-time algorithm for humanoid 3D walking and/or running based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The objective is to generate a stable gait that replicates as closely as possible a footstep plan, i.e., a sequence of candidate footstep positions and orientations with...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for blending human inputs and automatic controller commands, guaranteeing safety in mixed-initiative interactions between humans and quadrotors. The algorithm is based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) and involves using the state solution to assess...

Consider the problem of planning collision-free motions for a robot that is assigned a soft task constraint, i.e., a desired path in task space with an associated error tolerance. To this end, we propose an opportunistic planning strategy in which two subplanners take turns in generating motions....

This article considers the base station deployment problem in a wireless network. The natural formulation of this problem usually leads to numerical and memory issues, preventing users from dealing with real-world cases. We provide a compact reformulation that allows us to get beyond the drawbacks...

Background: Mechanisms of myocardial ischemia in obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), and the interplay between clinical, functional, biological and psycho-social features, are still far to be fully elucidated. Objectives: To develop a machine-learning (ML) model for the...

The course of multiple sclerosis begins with a relapsing-remitting phase, which evolves into a secondarily progressive form over an extremely variable period, depending on many factors, each with a subtle influence. To date, no prognostic factors or risk score have been validated to predict disease...

In this paper, we study the convergence of a block-coordinate incremental gradient method. Under some specific assumptions on the objective function, we prove that the block-coordinate incremental gradient method can be seen as a gradient method with errors and convergence can be proved by showing...
