Grippers, currently used in Industry, are not suited for clean room application. Thus, a novel type of smart gripper is being designed using Shape Memory Alloys (SMA). In the development of this Smart Gripper, the modelling of the material is quite critica ...
How do students learn in MOOCs? This project aims at answering this question by analyzing the activities of thousands of students registered on EPFL Scalaa MOOC hosted by Coursera. With the rapid growth of MOOCs, Education Science has entered the Big Data ...
The objective of this project is to develop a low-cost and flexible solution for mapping the nearshore bathymetry using a small quadcopter that hovers above the surf zone. ...
An increasing number of knowledge brokers work at the interface between research, policy and practice. Their function is to facilitate processes to foster mutual learning among research, policy and practice. For some knowledge brokers, practical methodolog ...
The paper presents a project on how to achieve future household consumption already today. The project calculated lifestyle material footprint, developed household-specific roadmaps for halving material footprints by 2030, tested relevant measures towards ...
The goal of this project is to assess the potential of PV tilted arrays on flat roofs. Multiple evaluations according to different performance indicators are compared to find the optimal potential of three roofs situated in the urban environment of Neuchat ...
This work focuses on heat fluxes and hydrodynamic of Ward Hunt Lake, Canada's most northern lake, as well as its response to climate variations. The project aims to implement a heat budget model, in order to improve our understanding of underlying mechanis ...
As part of a research project aiming to explore the notion of ‘smart school’ (especially for STEM education) in Estonia, we are developing classrooms and schools that incorporate data gathering not only from digital traces, but also physical ones (through ...
This article documents the practical efforts of a group of scientists designing an imageprocessing algorithm for saliency detection. By following the actors of this computer science project, the article shows that the problems often considered to be the st ...
The objective of the project is to evaluate the possible improvements of the design of the Solar Decathlon pavilion. In particular, this project aims at determining the effectiveness of passive systems (e.g. insulation, thermal mass, shading devices) in pr ...
