Consensus algorithms and plug-and-play control for current sharing in DC microgrids

In this paper, we propose a secondary consensus-based control layer for current sharing and voltage balancing in DC microGrids (mGs). Differently from existing approaches based on droop control, we assume decentralized Plug-and-Play (PnP) controllers at th ...

Architectural strategies to integrate wellbeing and health effects of daylight into the design of primary schools: a comparative analysis of exemplary case studies

Jean-Denis Bernard Marie Ghislain Thiry

Starting from an architect’s point of view, the aim of this research is to combine the daylight performance of educational spaces with a broader spatial, cultural, and historical approach. Through a rigorous study of school typologies, the geometry of thei ...

When Children Teach a Robot to Write: An Autonomous Teachable Humanoid Which Uses Simulated Handwriting

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Deanna Hood

This article presents a novel robotic partner which children can teach handwriting. The system relies on the learning by teaching paradigm to build an interaction, so as to stimulate meta-cognition, empathy and increased self-esteem in the child user. We h ...

Sampling and (Sparse) Stochastic Processes: A Tale of Splines and Innovation

Michaël Unser

The commonality between splines and Gaussian or sparse stochastic processes is that they are ruled by the same type of differential equations. Our purpose here is to demonstrate that this has profound implications for the three primary forms of sampling: u ...

Single locus of control in a tangible paper-based tabletop application: An Exploratory Study

Pierre Dillenbourg, Luis Pablo Prieto Santos, Daniela Caballero Díaz, Yun Wen

Multiple loci of control is one of the main affordances of tangible tabletop UIs due to their capability for simultaneous manipulation. However, there is a tension between the efficiency given by simultaneous manipulation and the need to coordinate and ref ...

Phase-field modeling of micropore formation in a solidifying alloy

Hossein Meidani

This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...
