Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.

A data-driven method for determining natural human-robot motion mappings in teleoperation
(IEEE, 2012-06-24)Though many aspects of teleoperation systems have been fine-tuned through research, the mapping between the operator's movement and the robot's movement is almost always pre-defined as a simple scaling and offset. We believe ... -
A Wearable device for controlling a robot gripper with fingertip contact, pressure, vibrotactile, and grip force feedback
(IEEE, 2014-02-23)Inspired by the potential of robotic teleoperation platforms, which extend the capabilities of both the human operator and the controlled robot, we have created a wearable haptic device that gives an operator bilateral ... -
Information distance
(IEEE, 1998-07-01)While Kolmogorov (1965) complexity is the accepted absolute measure of information content in an individual finite object, a similarly absolute notion is needed for the information distance between two individual objects, ... -
Experimental and modeling study of collagen scaffolds with the effects of crosslinking and fiber alignment
(2011)Collagen type I scaffolds are commonly used due to its abundance, biocompatibility, and ubiquity. Most applications require the scaffolds to operate under mechanical stresses. Therefore understanding and being able to ... -
A broad character education approach for addressing America’s cheating culture
(Information Age Publishing, 2016-12-28)Cheating is highly prevalent in American high school students and across the globe. Although numerous approaches are in place to combat this issue, most character education approaches have focused primarily on fostering ... -
Reliable cellular automata with self-organization
(SPRINGER, 2001-04-01)In a probabilistic cellular automaton in which all local transitions have positive probability, the problem of keeping a bit of information indefinitely is nontrivial, even in an infinite automaton. Still, there is a ... -

Control communication complexity of distributed actions
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2012-11-01)Recent papers have treated control communication complexity in the context of information-based, multiple agent control systems including nonlinear systems of the type that have been studied in connection with ... -
Perceptual modalities guiding bat flight in a native habitat
Flying animals accomplish high-speed navigation through fields of obstacles using a suite of sensory modalities that blend spatial memory with input from vision, tactile sensing, and, in the case of most bats and some other ... -
Deterministic computations whose history is independent of the order of asynchronous updating
(2001)Consider a network of processors (sites) in which each site x has a finite set N(x) of neighbors. There is a transition function f that for each site x computes the next state \xi(x) from the states in N(x). But these ...
