Segment-Safe Control Barrier Functions for Model Predictive Control
Conference Paper
Andrea Pagnini, Ezio Malis
Ensuring inter-sample safety for continuous-time robotic systems under discrete Model Predictive Control (MPC) remains a key challenge. Standard discrete MPC risks safety violations between sampling instants, while existing conservative solutions often sacrifice performance. We…
Distributed Rigid Formation Control of Aerial Robots via Spherical Event Cameras
Conference Paper
Andrea Infanti, Bojan Mavkov, Fabio Morbidi, Guillaume Allibert
This paper addresses the challenging problem of designing distributed rigidity-based formation control strategies for aerial robots with a spherical event camera as the primary on-board sensor. In fact, since accurate distance measurements are seldom available in aerial…
SEF-CLGC at SemEval-2026 Task 11: Logical Notation Impact on Language Model Performance
Conference Paper
Hanna Abi Akl, Fabien Gandon, Catherine Faron, Pierre Monnin
This paper revisits our pipeline called Syllogistic Evaluation Framework-Common Logic Grammar Construction (SEF-CLGC). We combine formal logical notations with Small Language Models (SLMs) to evaluate reasoning performance on the SemEval-2026 Task 11 Subtask 1: Disentangling…
Sub-cellular stereotypy in ascidian embryogenesis
Conference Paper
Haydar Jammoul, Kilian Biasuz, Benjamin Gallean, Patrick Lemaire, Grégoire Malandain
Ascidians are chordates closely related to vertebrates, including humans, and are widely used as model organisms in developmental biology to study embryonic formation and development. Ascidian development is highly stereotyped at the cellular level. Here, we present a…
Focus on Relevant Road Users with Multi-Rules Reachable Sets
Conference Paper
Monica Fossati, Ezio Malis, Philippe Martinet
Autonomous driving in urban environments poses significant challenges due to the presence of numerous heterogeneous agents, which may or may not comply with traffic rules. Considering all agents in the scene when exploring possible future scenarios can be computationally…
Quantifying the Cost of Manual Navigation: A Comparison of Gesture-Based Magnification versus Direct Access Reading in Digital Layout-based Documents
Proceeding
Sebastián Gallardo, Aurelie Calabrese, Hui-Yin Wu, Monica Di Meo, Stéphanie Baillif, Dorian Mazauric, Pierre Kornprobst
Understanding how diverse audiences engage with structured media is critical to ensure a consistent quality of experience. In this context, we quantify the behavioral and performance cost of manual navigation (e.g., pinch and zoom) versus direct structural access in…
