The development, deployment, and control of groups of robots is a tedious process even for experienced roboticists. Particularly in heterogeneous systems a high granularity of control and visibility is difficult to achieve. The lack of standardized interfa ...
The dry wear and tribocorrosion behaviour of pulsed plasma treated and non-treated Ni-Cr alloys sliding against alumina at 15 N were investigated by using a reciprocating wear test rig equipped with an electrochemical cell. The pulsed plasma treatment prod ...
In biological systems, animals exhibit organized behavior that arises from localized interactions. The interaction is implemented through information exchange, either directly or indirectly. Adaptive networks, consisting of a collection of nodes with learn ...
We report impedance measurements of the complex dielectric permittivity epsilon = epsilon' - j epsilon '' of sea ice and laboratory-grown NaCl single crystals using 50 MHz Stevens Water Monitoring Systems Hydra Probes. Temperature cycling of the single-cry ...
Adaptive networks, consisting of a collection of nodes with learning abilities, are well-suited to solve distributed inference problems and to model various types of self-organized behavior observed in nature. One important issue in designing adaptive netw ...
We report on a new single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS imaging process. A novel circular structure combining shallow trench isolation (STI) and a passivation implant creates an effective guard ring against premature edge breakd ...
Real-time Blade Tip Timing (BTT) in rotating machinery enables condition-based maintenance and blade failure prevention. In this paper, we propose a new 6 GHz microwave sensing system suitable for BTT in gas and steam turbines. The system working principle ...
We present a technique for contactless angular position sensing that allows low power consumption while keeping dynamic properties comparable to existing sensors. The technique essentially consists in combining a recently developed sensing element, the so- ...

The goal of this project is to measure the mechanical properties of a porous polymeric scaffold. For this purpose, the deformation of the scaffold will be visualized using micro-computed tomography (µCT). We have a compression machine which operates inside ...
Context. Future cosmological surveys will provide 3D large scale structure maps with large sky coverage, for which a 3D spherical Fourier-Bessel (SFB) analysis in spherical coordinates is natural. Wavelets are particularly well-suited to the analysis and d ...
