Tang, Tianning (author), Moss, Charlotte (author), Draycott, Samuel (author), Bingham, Harry B. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Li, Yan (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)An increased number of rogue waves, relative to standard distributions, can be induced by unidirectional waves passing over abrupt decreases in water depth. We investigate this phenomenon in a more general setting of multidirectional waves. We examine the influence of the directionality on the occurrence probability of rogue waves using...journal article 2023

Tang, Z. (author), Pan, S. (author), Grubor, M. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This article presents a sub-1 V bipolar junction transistor (BJT)-based temperature sensor that achieves both high accuracy and high energy efficiency. To avoid the extra headroom required by conventional current sources, the sensor’s diode-connected BJTs are biased by precharging sampling capacitors to the supply voltage and then discharging...journal article 2023

Tang, Y. (author), Zhu, H. (author), Potters, Susan (author), Wisse, M. (author), Pan, W. (author)This letter addresses the problem of pushing manipulation with nonholonomic mobile robots. Pushing is a fundamental skill that enables robots to move unwieldy objects that cannot be grasped. We propose a stable pushing method that maintains stiff contact between the robot and the object to avoid consuming repositioning actions. We prove that...journal article 2023

Tang, Shi Yuan (author), Irissappane, Athirai A. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Typically, a Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm focuses in learning a single deployable policy as the end product. Depending on the initialization methods and seed randomization, learning a single policy could possibly leads to convergence to different local optima across different runs, especially when the algorithm is sensitive to hyper...journal article 2023
