Microfluidics as an Enabling Technology for Personalized Cancer Therapy

Christoph Merten

Tailoring patient‐specific treatments for cancer is necessary in order to achieve optimal results but requires new diagnostic approaches at affordable prices. Microfluidics has immense potential to provide solutions for this, as it enables the processing o ...

Feedback MPC for Torque-Controlled Legged Robots

Marco Hutter

The computational power of mobile robots is currently insufficient to achieve torque level whole-body Model Predictive Control (MPC) at the update rates required for complex dynamic systems such as legged robots. This problem is commonly circumvented by us ...

Decisions under Binary Messaging over Adaptive Networks

Ali H. Sayed

We consider an adaptive network made of interconnected agents engaged in a binary decision task. It is assumed that the agents cannot deliver full-precision messages to their neighbors, but only binary messages. For this scenario, a modified version of the ...

Physics driven behavioural clustering of free-falling paper shapes

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Many complex physical systems exhibit a rich variety of discrete behavioural modes. Often, the system complexity limits the applicability of standard modelling tools. Hence, understanding the underlying physics of different behaviours and distinguishing be ...

Tomography Of Adaptive Multi-Agent Networks Under Limited Observation

Ali H. Sayed

This work studies the problem of inferring from streaming data whether an agent is directly influenced by another agent over an adaptive network of interacting agents. Agent i influences agent j if they are connected, and if agent j uses the information fr ...

Unleashing the power of semantic text analysis: a complex systems approach

Andrea Martini

In the present information era, a huge amount of machine-readable data is available regarding scientific publications. Such unprecedented wealth of data offers the opportunity to investigate science itself as a complex interacting system by means of quanti ...
