Adaptive Natural Oscillator to Exploit Natural Dynamics for Energy Efficiency

We present a novel adaptive oscillator, called Adaptive Natural Oscillator (ANO), to exploit the natural dynamics of a given robotic system. This tool is built upon the Adaptive Frequency Oscillator (AFO), and it can be used as a pattern generator in robot ...

Hydraulic performance of stepped spillway aerators and related downstream flow features

Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

To protect spillways against cavitation damage, adding a small air concentration to the flow close to the invert is efficient. Aerator performance on smooth chutes was therefore well studied in terms of air entrainment and downstream air concentration deve ...

3LP: A linear model of locomotion including falling, swing and torso dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

In this article, we present a new linear model (3LP) for bipedal locomotion which can describe swing and torso dynamics as well as falling. Compared to traditional inverted-pendulum based models, 3LP produces more human-like center of mass trajectory and s ...

Design and Analysis of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator with Origami Shell Reinforcement

Jamie Paik, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Gunjan Agarwal

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are versatile robotic components enabling diverse and complex soft robot hardware design. However, due to inherent material characteristics exhibited by their primary constitutive material, silicone rubber, they often lack r ...

Improving the accuracy of low-cost GNSS by fusion with inertial and magnetic sensors in alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

For analysing performance in alpine ski racing, an accurate estimation of the skier’s centre of mass trajectory and speed is indispensable. However, the sole use of low-cost GNSS might not be accurate enough to detect meaningful differences. The aim of thi ...

Reading Data Together

Dario Rodighiero

Network visualizations are the most complex visualizations possible, but sometimes they are not capable of describing system-complexity. Even if they are the most widely employed visualization techniques, they still have limitations. Indeed a) their relati ...

Robust Tracking Commitment with Application to Demand Response

Colin Neil Jones, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Altug Bitlislioglu

Many engineering problems that involve hierarchical control applications, such as demand side ancillary service provision to the power grid, can be posed as an optimal tracking commitment problem. In this setting, the lower- level controller commits a set ...

The DHLAB Trajectory

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, Dario Rodighiero, Loup Cellard

This visualisation represents the research activity of the Digital Humanities Lab through publications and co-authorship. Vertical disposition is ordered by time: each layer is a different year of publications, from the lab’s foundation to nowadays. The la ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...

Exploring the physics of sediment transport in non-uniform super-critical ows using a large dataset of particle trajectories

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman

In this article, we present 10 experiments carried out in a steep, shallow water ume made of an erodible bed of natural, uniform gravel. We simultaneously recorded bed load particle motion, bed and water elevation using two high-speed cameras. Particle tra ...
