This narrative review highlights findings from the sensory augmentation field for people with vestibular deficits and addresses the outstanding questions that are critical to the translation of this technology into clinical and/or personal use. Prior research has demonstrated that the real-time use of visual, vibrotactile, auditory, and multimodal sensory augmentation technologies can improve b...

Experimental sealed bid first price auctions with private values in which feedback on the losing bids is provided yield lower revenues than auctions where this feedback is not given. Furthermore, bids tend to be above the equilibrium predictions for risk neutral bidders. While the latter observation has been rationalized in terms of risk aversion, rational bidding is invariant to feedback on lo...

A new method for performing Dynamic Traffic Assignment @TA) is presented which is applicable in real time, since the solution is based on feedback control. This method employs the design of nonlinear H, feedback control systems which is robust to certain class of uncertainties in the system. The solution aims at achieving user equilibrium on alternate routes in a network setting. 1.

This paper analyses a two-sidedmarket in which two platforms compete against each other. One side, the advertisers, exerts a negative externality on the other side, the users. It is shown that if platforms can charge advertisers only, a higher degree of competition for users can lead to higher profits because competition on the advertisers’ side is reduced. If platforms can charge users as well...

Abstract: Two-wheeled self-balancing vehicles have been extensively used because of their unique capabilities such as reducing the traffic problems and being environment friendly. The main challenge in these vehicles is to design robust controllers capable of creating smooth and safe movement. This paper focuses on design of such a controller using the feedback linearisation technique. The mode...

Research finds that minorities and women often face unique challenges as faculty members, such as lower senses of fit in their departments, greater feelings of isolation, fewer opportunities for collaboration, more trouble finding quality mentors, and bias from colleagues and students. Moreover, women and minorities are more likely to be overburdened with service, which often is not highly rewa...

We study auctions whose bidders are embedded in a social or economic network. As a result, even bidders who do not win the auction themselves might derive utility from the auction, namely, when a friend wins. On the other hand, when an enemy or competitor wins, a bidder might derive negative utility. Such spite and altruism will alter the bidding strategies. A simple and natural model for bidde...

The purpose of this document is to establish a technical framework to control Krang in its stable balancing state. We will first discuss related work in inverted pendulum-like systems to get acquianted with the literature. Next, we will present a simple inverted pendulum model, analyze the dynamics and simulate it. We will evaluate the effect of different control gains in state feedback control...

We consider schemes for obtaining truthful reports on a common but hidden signal from large groups of rational, self-interested agents. One example are online feedback mechanisms, where users provide observations about the quality of a product or service so that other users can have an accurate idea of what quality they can expect. However, (i) providing such feedback is costly, and (ii) there ...

When making orientational judgements, such as aligning picture frames or positioning for a golf swing, we maneuver rather than remaining immobile. This observation is at odds with many psychophysical studies of spatial orientation. Accurate perception of spatial orientation is of greatest importance when it is imperative to maintain precarious balance. It has been proposed [1,2] that, when bala...
