Dispatch-aware Optimal Planning of Active Distribution Networks including Energy Storage Systems

The thesis develops a planning framework for ADNs to achieve their dispatchability by means of ESS allocation while ensuring a reliable and secure operation of ADNs. Second, the framework is extended to include grid reinforcements and ESSs planning. Finall ...

Social NCE: Contrastive Learning of Socially-aware Motion Representations

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu

Learning socially-aware motion representations is at the core of recent advances in multi-agent problems, such as human motion forecasting and robot navigation in crowds. Despite promising progress, existing representations learned with neural networks sti ...

Dispatch-aware planning of energy storage systems in active distribution network

Mario Paolone, Ji Hyun Yi

This paper proposes a procedure for the optimal siting and sizing of energy storage systems (ESSs) within active distribution networks (ADNs) hosting a large amount of stochastic distributed renewable energy resources. The optimization objective is to mini ...

Effect of task conditions on human hand pose selection strategies in bimanual fine manipulation tasks

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao

Many manipulations in human everyday activities rely on the collaboration of our two hands. Bimanual fine manipulation tasks are particularly demanding as precise coordination among fingers of both hands is required. Yet, despite the abundant degrees of fr ...

Resting brain dynamics at different timescales capture distinct aspects of human behavior

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Linking human behavior to resting-state brain function is a central question in systems neuroscience. In particular, the functional timescales at which different types of behavioral factors are encoded remain largely unexplored. The behavioral counterparts ...

Towards an Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation Game with Tangible Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Ayberk Özgür, Louis Pierre Faucon, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior

A key feature of a successful game is its ability to provide the player with an adequate level of challenge. However, the objective of difficulty adaptation in serious games is not only to maintain the player’s motivation by challenging, but also to ensure ...

Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism

Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov

Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...

Sexual conflict drives male manipulation of female postmating responses in Drosophila melanogaster

Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis

In many animals, females respond to mating with changes in physiology and behavior that are triggered by molecules transferred by males during mating. In Drosophila melanogaster, proteins in the seminal fluid are responsible for important female postmating ...
