Architecture of a decentralised decision support system for futuristic beehives
Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills
Honeybees are essential to human society, providing pollination services globally as well as producing honey and other valuable products. Effective management of apiaries should not only rely on beekeeper knowledge and skill, but also incorporate new infor ...
2024TTool: A Supervised Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Visual Pose Detector for Tool Heads in Augmented Reality Woodworking
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Andrea Settimi, Florian Aymanns, Naravich Chutisilp
We present TimberTool (TTool v2.1.1), a software designed for woodworking tasks assisted by augmented reality (AR), emphasizing its essential function of the real-time localization of a tool head’s poses within camera frames. The localization process, a fu ...
2024Models implemented in the methodological approach to design the initial STEP first wall contour
Davide Galassi, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Filippo Bagnato, Dario Vaccaro
The official Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production mission aims to demonstrate the ability to generate net electricity from fusion with the STEP Prototype Power plant. One of the key technological and engineering challenges in fusion power plants is mana ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Co-Design Optimisation of Morphing Topology and Control of Winged Drones
Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Fabio Bergonti
The design and control of winged aircraft and drones is an iterative process aimed at identifying a compromise of mission-specific costs and constraints. When agility is required, shape-shifting (morphing) drones represent an efficient solution. However, m ...
2024Sustainability and Ethicality are Peripheral to Students’ Software Design
Bryan Alexander Ford, Siara Ruth Isaac, Pierluca Borsò, Aditi Kothiyal
The conceptual design phase is a fascinating moment to observe how a design task is interpreted, as the (often implicit) relative importance students accord to the various requirements and constraints offers a window into the thinking underpinning their de ...
2023The Quality of the Way to School lies in the Design Details
School routes are paths where children learn, gain independence, forge their identity and interact with other beings – be they human or non-human. Many aspects that determine this journey are of social and cultural nature. But the spatial shaping of the wa ...
Anthem Press2023Computational 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)2023Computational Conceptual Design – Typological Exploration Of Spatial Truss Systems Through Optimization
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth
Exploring a wide range of relevant design options from the outset is crucial for every sound conceptual design process. Optimization techniques are generally employed to generate well-performing structural design options. However, focusing only on performa ...
2023A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Conversational Agents in Digital Education
The presence of conversational agents (or chatbots) in educational contexts has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Recent surveys have shown widespread interest in the use of chatbots in education, both for research and practice. Although th ...
EPFL2023Collective data-based drawings A common ground for adaptive contributive design
The laboratory ALICE (Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) advances a comprehensive approach to data-based drawing oriented towards architectural and urban co-design processes. This drawing methodolog ...
