Mesh-based topology, shape and sizing optimization of ribbed plates
In this paper, we present a new parameterization and optimization procedure for minimizing the weight of ribbed plates. The primary goal is to reduce embodied CO2 in concrete floors as part of the effort to diminish the carbon footprint of the construction ...
Springer2024An optimized electronic platform for magnetorheological actuators control
This project focuses on the design and production of an electronic circuit, whose goal is to control the opening and closing of magneto-rheological (MR) valves embedded in a shoe. ...
2023Cybersickness assessment framework(CSAF): An Open Source Repository for Standardized Cybersickness Experiments
Ronan Boulic, Nana Tian, Adriano Viegas Milani
Studies of cybersickness (CS) often require a significant invest- ment in creating the primary VR environment and other experiment- related features. In addition, minor differences in VR content in independent studies may lead to opposite results. This mot ...
IEEE2023Computational conceptual design — typological exploration of spatial truss systems through optimization
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth
Exploring a wide range of design options is crucial for every sound conceptual design process. In the conventional structural design workflow, optimization techniques are generally employed to generate well-performing design options. However, focusing only ...
International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS)2023Things that Talk: On a new perspective for engaging with scientific instruments
Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu
Our contribution will propose a new approach for engaging with scientific instruments inspired by a recent exhibition which we have designed and organized. Inverting the current trope of presenting history through many objects, the exhibition weaved togeth ...
2023Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling
Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi
Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...
Cambridge2023Teacher's Perception on Social Robots to Promote the Integration of Children with Migration Background
Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Arzu Güneysu Özgür
This paper describes the first steps of an ongoing participatory design with teachers from Switzerland to co-create Human-Robot Interaction setups for integrating children with migration history. The herein presented phase had two main goals: (i) initially ...
Association for Computing Machinery2023Modeling and characterization of the nucleation and growth of carbon nanostructures in physical synthesis
Carbon nanostructures formed through physical synthesis come in a variety of sizes and shapes. With the end goal of rationalizing synthetic pathways of carbon nanostructures as a function of tunable parameters in the synthesis, we investigate how the initi ...
ELSEVIER2023Downscale methodology: EUCalc to CityCalc
The report describes the implementation of the procedure in EUCalc (KNIME) to develop SwissCalc, ParisCalc and LausanneCalc. The goal is to downscale levers already in EUCalc like biophysical calorie demand per person, daily calories of food wasted and the ...
Zenodo2023Need for harmonized long-term multi-lake monitoring of African Great Lakes
To ensure the long-term sustainable use of African Great Lakes (AGL), and to better understand the func-tioning of these ecosystems, authorities, managers and scientists need regularly collected scientific data and information of key environmental indicato ...
