Achieving flexible assembly using autonomous robotic systems

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kieran Daniel Gilday

Prefabrication of structures is currently used in a limited capacity, due to the lack of flexibility, despite the potential cost and speed advantages. Autonomous flexible reassembly enables structures to be developed which can be continuously and iterative ...

Payoff-Based Approach to Learning Nash Equilibria in Convex Games * *This research is partially supported by M. Kamgarpour’s European Union ERC Starting Grant, CONENE.

Maryam Kamgarpour

We consider multi-agent decision making, where each agent optimizes its cost function subject to constraints. Agents’ actions belong to a compact convex Euclidean space and the agents’ cost functions are coupled. We propose a distributed payoff-based algor ...

Measuring upper limb function in children with hemiparesis with 3D inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc, Farzin Dadashi, Fabien Massé

Upper limb assessments in children with hemiparesis rely on clinical measurements, which despite standardization are prone to error. Recently, 3D movement analysis using optoelectronic setups has been used to measure upper limb movement, but generalization ...

Coevolution of Synchronization and Cooperation in Costly Networked Interactions

Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo, Alberto Antonioni

Despite the large number of studies on synchronization, the hypothesis that interactions bear a cost for involved individuals has seldom been considered. The introduction of costly interactions leads, instead, to the formulation of a dichotomous scenario i ...

Smart Products for Sharing

Thomas Alois Weber

Sharing markets create mutual insurance for consumers who are unsure about their future needs for goods, thus rendering products more valuable both before and after the purchase. By embedding intelligence in their products, enabling them to sense, monitor, ...

The Impact of Sharing Markets on Product Durability

Thomas Alois Weber, Maryam Razeghian Jahromi

This paper studies the effects of sharing markets on the prices for new products and on product design in terms of durability. In a dynamic economy with overlapping generations, consumers take strategic purchasing decisions, anticipated by a durable-goods ...

Quantifying the Bullwhip Effect Using Two-Echelon Data: A Cross-Industry Empirical Investigation

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson

The bullwhip effect denotes the phenomenon whereby demand variability is amplified from a downstream site (buyer) to an upstream site (supplier) in the supply chain. This paper contributes to the literature that empirically investigates the bullwhip effect ...

Multi-objective Optimization of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell–Gas Turbine Hybrid Cycle and Uncertainty Analysis

François Maréchal, Shivom Sharma, Emanuela Peduzzi

Chemical process optimization problems often have multiple and conflicting objectives, such as capital cost, operating cost, production cost, profit, energy consumption and environmental impact. There are several conversion technologies that can convert Sy ...

Incremental View Maintenance for Collection Programming

Christoph Koch, Daniel Lupei, Val Tannen

In the context of incremental view maintenance (IVM), delta query derivation is an essential technique for speeding up the processing of large, dynamic datasets. The goal is to generate delta queries that, given a small change in the input, can update the ...

Distributed learning over multitask networks with linearly related tasks

Ali H. Sayed, Roula Nassif

In this work, we consider distributed adaptive learning over multitask mean-square-error (MSE) networks where each agent is interested in estimating its own parameter vector, also called task, and where the tasks at neighboring agents are related according ...
