Collaborative control strategies for robotic manipulation
… must be made. <br/><br/>Slip detection and control is an area which can be applied to dual collaborating manipulators. With adequate sensing capabilities, two collaborating manipulators may hold an object without the use of dexterous end-effectors. This vastly improves the versatility of …

Observability of user-interfaces for linear hybrid systems under collaborative control
… The human can observe system outputs and make control inputs via this interface. Problems with human-automation interaction occur when the interface does not provide enough information or provides misinformation about the underlying system, such that the human cannot determine the current state …

Single-Cell Gene Expression Variation as A Cell-Type Specific Trait: A Study of Mammalian Gene Expression Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing
… cells from five mammalian tissues, along with 30 control samples, to characterize transcriptome heterogeneity across single cells. We developed methods to filter genes for reliable quantification and to calibrate biological variation. We found evidence that ubiquitous expression across cells may …
