Elon Musk’s plans refer to an idea conceived in the 1960s. What is the Kardashev scale?

A Soviet astronomer in the 1960s proposed a scale to classify hypothetical alien civilizations. Here’s why the framework is ...

Marginalizing and Conditioning Gaussians onto Linear Approximations of Smooth Manifolds with Applications in Robotics

Abstract: We present closed-form expressions for marginalizing and conditioning Gaussians onto linear manifolds, and demonstrate how to apply these expressions to smooth non-linear manifolds through ...

NRC is (sort of) getting rid of “as low as reasonably achievable” standard

Probably the clearest indication of the evolutionary change at play is that the NRC estimates the changing rules will save ...

Low-Complexity Linear Parameter-Varying Approximations of Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations for Truncated State-Dependent Riccati Feedback

Abstract: Nonlinear feedback design via state-dependent Riccati equations is well established but unfeasible for large-scale systems because of computational costs. If the system can be embedded in ...
