Microgravity induces overconfidence in perceptual decision-making
Davide Scaramuzza, Christian Pfeiffer, Leyla Loued-Khenissi
Does gravity affect decision-making? This question comes into sharp focus as plans for interplanetary human space missions solidify. In the framework of Bayesian brain theories, gravity encapsulates a strong prior, anchoring agents to a reference frame via ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Deploying an Instance Segmentation Algorithm to Implement Social Distancing for Prosthetic Vision
Silvestro Micera, Daniela De Luca
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is causing a dramatic worsening in the already complicated living conditions of blind and visually impaired individuals. Social distancing is the most effective strategy to limit virus spread, but is extremely difficult for b ...
IEEE2022Phase separation of self-propelled disks with ferromagnetic and nematic alignment
Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa
We present a comprehensive study of a model system of repulsive self-propelled disks in two dimensions with ferromagnetic and nematic velocity alignment interactions. We characterize the phase behavior of the system as a function of the alignment and self- ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2021Neuroprosthetic Technologies to Evaluate and Train Leg Motor Control in Neurologically Impaired Individuals
Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts many essential sensorimotor and autonomic functions. Consequently, individuals with SCI can face decades with permanent disabilities. Advances in clinical management have decreased morbidity, but no clinical trial has yet ...
EPFL2019Learning Trajectory Distributions for Assisted Teleoperation and Path Planning
Several approaches have been proposed to assist humans in co-manipulation and teleoperation tasks given demonstrated trajectories. However, these approaches are not applicable when the demonstrations are suboptimal or when the generalization capabilities o ...
2019Virtual Zero Gravity Impact on Internal Gravity Model
Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Elisa Canzoneri
This project investigates the impact of a virtual zero gravity experience on the human gravity model. In the planned experiment, subjects are immersed with HMD and full body motion capture in a virtual world exhibiting either normal gravity or the apparent ...
Ieee Computer Soc2017On the stabilizing effects of neck-in, gravity, and inertia in Newtonian film casting
We investigate the influence of the reduction of width along the stretching direction, the so-called neck-in effect, on the draw resonance instability in Newtonian film casting using a linear stability analysis of a model of reduced dimensionality includin ...
2016Practical mapping of the draw resonance instability in film casting of Newtonian fluids
The influence of viscosity and inlet velocity on the draw resonance instability of film casting processes is quantitatively analysed. By linear stability analysis of a Newtonian model including inertia and gravity effects, stability curves for different co ...
2015In-Plane Mode Dynamics of Capillary Self-Alignment
Massimo Mastrangeli, Pierre Lambert
We present an experimental study of the complete in-plane dynamics of capillary self-alignment. The two translational (shift) and single rotational (twist) in-plane modes of square millimetric transparent dies bridged to shape-matching receptor sites throu ...
American Chemical Society2014Sliding Mode Control in Ziegler’s Pendulum With Tracking Force: Novel Modeling Considerations
Mehran Khaghani, Ehsan Sarshari
Ziegler's pendulum is an appropriate model of a nonconservative dynamic system. By considering gravity effect, new equations of motion are extracted from Newton's motion laws. The instability of equilibriums is determined by linear stability analysis. Chao ...
