The importance of outcome evaluation of a medical treatment in orthopedics is currently recognized. In shoulder disease, a large variety of evaluation tools is employed to assess the results of the surgery. However, even if the majority of these evaluation ...
This presentation describes the main ITS (Intelligent Trasnportion Systems) services and their requirements in positioning. Different types of navigation systems are presented with a focus on satellite-based systems and the potential of Galileo with value ...
Exploration of hybrid inertial/GPS systems to provide continuous positioning through varying environments represents a growing field of interest to researchers. In particular, first responders and public safety professional would like to see robust systems ...
We present a theoretical and experimental analysis of the dam break of a viscoplastic fluid in a horizontal channel. A shallow, slow fluid model based on the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive law allows one to characterize the early and late stages of the flow ...
This paper presents the indoor positioning research activities carried out within the scope of the Liaison project. Most of the work has been performed on WiFi location. WiFi is nowadays widely deployed in buildings such as hotels, hospitals, airports, tra ...
This paper presents a few examples of manipulators and micro-robots based on piezo-actuators developed during the last 4 years in the Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques (LSRO) at EPFL. Three working principles will be described (bender, inch-worm, inertial ...
We aim at developing vision-based controllers for microyers capable of ying autonomously in indoor environments. Although signicant advances have been made in this domain over the past decade, only subproblems have been successfully addressed (for example ...
This paper presents a solution to interactive navigation planning and real-time simulation of a very large number of entities moving in a virtual environment. From the environment geometry analysis, we deduce a structure called navigation graph, which is t ...
The principal concept of navigation is to start from a known (initial) position and to ensure a continued and reliable localisation of the user during his/her movement. The initial position of the trajectory is usually obtained via GPS or defined by the us ...
This paper presents work on sensor-based motion planning in initially unknown dynamic environments. Motion detection and probabilistic motion modeling are combined with a smooth navigation function to perform on-line path planning and replanning in clutter ...
