Elastic Fast Marching Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents Elastic Fast Marching Learning (EFML), a novel approach for learning from demonstration that combines velocity‐based planning with elastic optimization. EFML enables smooth, precise, and adaptable robot trajectories in both position and orientation spaces.

The Matching Method for Treatment Evaluation with Selective Participation and Ineligibles [PDF]

The matching method for treatment evaluation does not balance selective unobserved differences between treated and non-treated. We derive a simple correction term if there is an instrument that shifts the treatment probability to zero in specific cases ...

Iterative Data Curation for Machine Learning‐Based Inverse Design of Active Composite Plates for Four‐Dimensional Printing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework is developed for the inverse design of 4D‐printed active composite plates. It utilizes a forward model to predict shapes from patterns and an inverse model to suggest initial patterns for desired shapes. This framework integrates a genetic algorithm to refine the predicted patterns, ensuring higher accuracy in achieving ...
