Abstract: This paper focuses on two main aspects in industrial production: material handling and material sorting. The aim was to design and fabricate a mechatronic device that is able to sort ...

Abstract: This research work introduces a clustering-based in-place sorting algorithm, cluster sort. It is designed in such a way that it improves sorting efficiency by using data locality. It works ...

Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) aims to detect and associate all desired objects across frames. Most methods accomplish the task by explicitly or implicitly leveraging strong cues (i.e., spatial and ...

A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...

When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into ...

A dropped plate, a smashed sugar cube and a broken drinking glass all seem to follow the same law of physics when it comes to how many fragments of a given size they will shatter into. For several ...
