Height, test scores, product dimension errors, measurement errors. Even though these are completely different phenomena, when graphed, they all strangely draw the same "bell-shaped" curve. {169} ...

Abstract: We propose a sample-based model predictive control (MPC) method for collision-free navigation that uses a normalizing flow as a sampling distribution, conditioned on the start, goal, ...

Abstract: Accurate estimation of the states of a nonlinear dynamical system is crucial for their design, synthesis, and analysis. Particle filters are estimators constructed by simulating trajectories ...
