Whose Housing Crisis? Transnational Elites' Residential Strategies in Geneva and the Role of Public Policies

The aim of this paper is to analyse the way housing crisis influences the residential mobility of transnational elites in the Geneva metropolitan area. On the one hand, it is based on a quantitative research mandated by local political authorities and on t ...

Towards simple control for complex, autonomous robotic applications: Combining discrete and rhythmic motor primitives

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti, Sarah Dégallier Rochat, Sébastien Gay

Vertebrates are able to quickly adapt to new environments in a very robust, seemingly effortless way. To explain both this adaptivity and robustness, a very promising perspective in neurosciences is the modular approach to movement generation: Movements re ...

Self-motion holds a special status in visual processing

Roy Salomon

Agency plays an important role in self-recognition from motion. Here, we investigated whether our own movements benefit from preferential processing even when the task is unrelated to self-recognition, and does not involve agency judgments. Participants se ...

Oscillator-based assistance of cyclical movements: model-based and model-free approaches

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom, Renaud Ronsse

In this article, we propose a new method for providing assistance during cyclical movements. This method is trajectory-free, in the sense that it provides user assistance irrespective of the performed movement, and requires no other sensing than the assist ...

Learning and reproduction of gestures by imitation: An approach based on Hidden Markov Model and Gaussian Mixture Regression

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon, Eric Sauser, Florent D'Halluin

We present a probabilistic approach to learn robust models of human motion through imitation. The association of Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) and dynamical systems allows us to extract redundancies across multiple demonstrat ...

View-Based Appearance Model Online Learning for 3D Deformable Face Tracking

Jean-Marc Odobez, Stephanie Lefèvre

In this paper we address the issue of joint estimation of head pose and facial actions. We propose a method that can robustly track both subtle and extreme movements by combining two types of features: structural features observed at characteristic points ...

Multi-scale modeling of HIV-1 proteins

Marilisa Neri, Paolo Carloni

The efficiency of protease inhibiting drugs is hampered by the rapid emergence of protease variants. Understanding this phenomenon requires the characterization of the salient steps of HIV-1 protease's catalytic cycle. We summarize Our investigations on th ...

Mental rotation of body parts and non-corporeal objects in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia

Silvio Ionta

Mental rotation of body parts is performed through inner simulation of actual movements, and is likely to rely upon cortical and subcortical systems (e.g. motor and premotor areas and basal ganglia) involved in motor planning and execution. Studies indicat ...

Optimal maneuvering of seismic sensors for localization of subsurface targets

Volkan Cevher

We consider the problem of detecting and locating buried land mines and subsurface objects by using a maneuvering array that receives scattered seismic surface waves. We demonstrate an adaptive system that moves an array of receivers according to an optima ...
