Gas Sensing with Rotary-Wing Nano Aerial Vehicles
Harmful chemical compounds are released daily in warehouses, chemical plants and during environmental emergencies. Their uncontrolled dispersion contributes to the pollution of the atmosphere and threatens human and animal lives.When gas leaks occur, their ...
EPFL2024Radiation Hardness Study of Single-Photon Avalanche Diode for Space and High Energy Physics Applications
Edoardo Charbon, Emanuele Ripiccini, Ming-Lo Wu, Ekin Kizilkan, Pouyan Keshavarzian, Francesco Gramuglia, Kazuhiro Morimoto, Carlo Alberto Fenoglio
The radiation hardness of 180 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and 55 nm bipolar-CMOS-double-diffused MOS single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is studied using 10 MeV and 100 MeV protons up to a displacement damage dose of 1 PeV/g. It is ...
MDPI2022Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions
The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...
EPFL2022Systems engineering and design of a Mars Polar Research Base with a human crew
Claudio Leonardi, Anne-Marlene Rüede, Anton Ivanov, Tatiana Maillard
Mars Polar Ice caps have been known ever since they were first observed by Cassini. Robotic exploration mis- sions, starting with Mariner 9, have confirmed that they are composed of water ice. During later missions, instruments such as Mars Global Surveyor ...

Explore how geography, cartography, urbanization and spatial justice play a role in shaping the notion of human space. An introduction to geographicity proposed by Chôros on edX platform ...
2015Science, technology and the future of small autonomous drones
We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots — drones — that can autonomously fly in natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence applications, could have a major impact on civilian tasks, including transportation, ...
Nature Publishing Group2015Out-of-Body Experiences and Other Complex Dissociation Experiences in a Patient with Unilateral Peripheral Vestibular Damage and Deficient Multisensory Integration
Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Petr Grivaz
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are illusory perceptions of one's body from an elevated disembodied perspective. Recent theories postulate a double disintegration process in the personal (visual, proprioceptive and tactile disintegration) and extrapersonal ...
Brill Academic Publishers2015Enabling Collective Operation of Indoor Flying Robots
Collective flying robots show great potential in many diverse indoor applications. Their added robustness, parallel operation and redundancy has clear advantages over a single flying robot. However, flying within cluttered and unprepared indoor environment ...
EPFL2011A computational tool for the life prediction of GFRP laminates under irregular complex stress states: influence of the fatigue failure criterion
Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi, Roohollah Sarfaraz Khabbaz
A new computational tool for the fatigue life prediction of composite materials, designated CCfatigue, is presented in this paper. This new software has been developed based on a well-established phenomenological fatigue life prediction methodology. It is ...
