Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024RUM: Reconfigurable Umbrella Mesh
Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo
We propose Reconfigurable Umbrella Meshes (RUMs), a new class of preassembled deployable structures. A RUM has a compact rest state that can be easily altered to deploy into different bending-active 3D target shapes. RUMs consist of elastic beams and rigid ...
De Gruyter2023Design Space Exploration for Partitioning Dataflow Program on CPU-GPU Heterogeneous System
Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Aurélien François Gilbert Bloch
Dataflow programming is a methodology that enables the development of high-level, parametric programs that are independent of the underlying platform. This approach is particularly useful for heterogeneous platforms, as it eliminates the need to rewrite ap ...
SPRINGER2023VIDEZZO: Dependency-aware Virtual Device Fuzzing
Mathias Josef Payer, Flavio Toffalini, Qiang Liu
A virtual machine interacts with its host environment through virtual devices, driven by virtual device messages, e.g., I/O operations. By issuing crafted messages, an adversary can exploit a vulnerability in a virtual device to escape the virtual machine, ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2023Feasibility Study and Preliminary Design of Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Rodriguez Martinez, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
With orbiting stations and ground bases planned to be built, we are yet to master the ability to explore long term and long range over areas of the Moon often characterised by an extreme topography, dauntingly low temperatures, and wedged with what are kno ...
2022Feasibility analysis and preliminary design of a Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
This thesis presents the feasibility analysis and preliminary design of a new Lunar Reconnaissance Drone. The system’s objective, which is composed of the drone and a service station, is to assist a large-scale rover mission into low-light zones of the Moo ...
2022Advancing the Adaptability of Compliant Robot Controllers for Exploration, Interaction, and Manipulation
As technology continues to evolve, robots are becoming an intrinsic part of our lives. While robots surpass human capabilities in precision and speed, they are far from matching humans' ability to adapt to unexpected changes. Humans can quickly and complia ...
EPFL2022Exploration of static equilibrium representations; policies and genetic algorithms
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos
Design exploration consists in browsing the design space and through the incremental generation of diverse design candidates increases creativity and diversity. When integrated into the early stages of the structural design process, the task is expected to ...
CRC Press2022Polar rover mission: Preliminary concept study
As part of their development towards the deployment of an autonomous lunar rover, EPFL Xplore is looking to build and deploy a more polar-focused model in the coming years. The objective of this document is to serve as a preliminary concept study to ease t ...
