FORAY - multiple peripheral devices connected to the same laptop

Parth Agrawal

In case, we have a limited number of laptops to connect the game controllers and master devices. This experiment shows that multiple game controllers can be connected to the same laptop for communication. The current communication system is limited by the number of ports. We can overcome this limita...

FORAY - Tutorial: Controlling multiple control boards through game controllers

Zhaoliang Zheng

Authors: Parth, Zhaoliang The details can be found in the github Motivation Previously, we introduced about how to control multiple WIFI-based control board through Blynk app. Though it's also convenient, it has two main drawbacks: The local Blynk server requires devices to have differe...

Next project, identifying weak points in foldable structures

Chang Liu

For the last project, we developed a design tool to computational design stiffness-enhanced mechanisms, based on corrugation structures. That project leaves us a question: where should we use stiffness-enhanced mechanisms in foldable structures. Therefore, my next project will be dedicated to i...

Lazy Weighted A*

Yuki-shirai

There are several works that somehow deal with the expensive computation time for edge evaluations in graph-search planning algorithms. Here I explain one of the state-of-art algorithms to deal with this problem, which is lazy weighted A* (LWA). LWA works as follows. First, LWA assumes that the tr...
