HopliteBuf FPGA Network-on-Chip: Architecture and Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-22)We can prove occupancy bounds of stall-free FIFOs used in deflection-free, low-cost, and high-speed FPGA overlay Network-on-chips (NoCs). In our work, we build on top of the HopliteRT livelock-free overlay NoC with an ... -
HopliteRT Source Queuing Bound Correction
(2020)We present a correction to the analytical source queuing bound for HopliteRT [1], [2], which addresses the counter-example put forward in Section IV-D of [3] by taking the effect of the in-flight jitter suffered by data ... -
The Human Immune System: A Challenging Control Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2004)This work deals with the control of the human immune system. A standard immune system model is modified by introducing control signals corresponding to drug cocktail and immune suppressor treatments. The ultimate ... -
Human motion estimation and controller learning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-22)Humans are capable of complex manipulation and locomotion tasks. They are able to achieve energy-efficient gait, reject disturbances, handle changing loads, and adapt to environmental constraints. Using inspiration from ... -
Human Performance and Cognitive Workload in Haptic, Audio and Visual Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-17)The ability to efficiently perform a task in a human-in-the-loop system and in multi-sensory virtual environments is highly dependent on the type of sensory feedback the operator is receiving and the amount of workload the ... -
Human-Aware Motion Planning for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-08)With the rapid adoption of robotic systems in our daily lives, robots must operate in the presence of humans in ways that improve safety and productivity. Currently, in industrial settings, human safety is ensured through ... -
Hybrid Amorphous Selenium-CMOS Photon-Counting X-ray Imager
