We study socio-political systems in representative democracies. Motivated by problems that affect the proper functioning of the system, we build computational methods to answer research questions regarding the phenomena occurring in them. For each phenomen ...
In this letter we present a versatile trajectory optimization framework that leverages a fused kinematic-dynamic bicycle model for highly dynamic vehicle drifting maneuvers. Our framework can be used online to generate drifting maneuvers, offline to plan d ...
The European Union law-making process is an instance of a peer- production system. We mine a rich dataset of law edits and intro- duce models predicting their adoption by parliamentary committees. Edits are proposed by parliamentarians, and they can be in ...
We introduce a unique intelligent system that relies on the centre of mass motions for conveying the user's motion intention. The objective of this device is to achieve a standing mobility vehicle for users with lower body impairments, such as spinal cord ...
This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...
To assist people with disabilities, exoskeletons must be provided with human-machine interfaces (HMI) capable to identify the user's intentions and enable cooperative interaction. Electromyographic (EMG) signals could be suitable for this purpose, but thei ...
Neuroprosthetics, the discipline that aims at interfacing neural systems to artificially engineered devices, has witnessed in recent years important advancements towards the ultimate goal of augmenting and restoring human functions through technology and a ...
We propose a variational aggregation method for optical flow estimation. It consists of a two-step framework, first estimating a collection of parametric motion models to generate motion candidates, and then reconstructing a global dense motion field. The ...
This paper summarizes a series of analytical studies that were conducted in connection with an improved approach for the design of acceleration-sensitive nonstructural elements. In the new approach, bracing to secure nonstructural elements to the structure ...
The ninth International Conference organized by the Technical Committee n 1 (TC1) of IMACS, ELECTRIMACS took place at Québec City, Canada, from June 9th to 11th 2008. The goal of this conference was to provide scientific and professional interaction for th ...
