Collective system‐supporting inaction: A conceptual framework of privilege maintenance
European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 52, Issue 7, Page 1128-1142, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Recent protest movements such as #MeToo exposed that institutional change initiatives targeting harassment and discrimination have so far failed to achieve equity. We propose that this is because such policy initiatives fail to account for the motivation of those privileged by inequality regimes to maintain and perpetuate these systems ...

A Comparison between Frame-based and Event-based Cameras for Flapping-Wing Robot Perception [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Perception systems for ornithopters face severe challenges. The harsh vibrations and abrupt movements caused during flapping are prone to produce motion blur and strong lighting condition changes. Their strict restrictions in weight, size, and energy consumption also limit the type and number of sensors to mount onboard. Lightweight traditional cameras
