Does spontaneous motion lead to intuitive Body-Machine Interfaces? A fitness study of different body segments for wearable telerobotics

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini

Human-Robot Interfaces (HRIs) represent a crucial component in telerobotic systems. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMIs) based on body motion can feel more intuitive than standard HRIs for naive users as they leverage humans’ natural control capability over the ...

Static and Dynamic Self-Assembly of Pearl-Like-Chains of Magnetic Colloids Confined at Fluid Interfaces

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Magnetic colloids adsorbed at a fluid interface are unique model systems to understand self-assembly in confined environments, both in equilibrium and out of equilibrium, with important potential applications. In this work the pearl-chain-like self-assembl ...

edxia: Microstructure characterisation from quantified SEM-EDS hypermaps

Karen Scrivener, Fabien Jacques Michel Georget, William Wilson

The characterisation of cement paste microstructure is an important step towards understanding durability mechanisms in cementitious materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) is a widely used technique ...

Load transfer approach for the geotechnical analysis of energy piles in a group with slab

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

Thermally induced group effects characterise closely spaced energy piles. It has been observed experimentally that the behaviour of energy piles subjected to mechanical and thermal loads, in which the piles are located sufficiently close to each other, is ...

Hand-worn Haptic Interface for Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Antoine Weber

Drone teleoperation is usually accomplished using remote radio controllers, devices that can be hard to master for inexperienced users. Moreover, the limited amount of information fed back to the user about the robot's state, often limited to vision, can r ...

A mechanistic model for the growth of cylindrical debris particles in the presence of adhesion

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese

The wear volume is known to keep increasing during frictional processes, and Archard notably proposed a model to describe the probability of wear particle formation upon asperity collision in a two-body contact configuration. While this model is largely ad ...

Mixed-mode fracture response of anti-symmetric laminates: Experiments and modelling

John Botsis

Multidirectional laminates are very often used in advanced structures. However, the existing data in the literature regarding their fracture response is not conclusive. In this work, the fracture response of a +45 degrees// -45 degrees interface is investi ...
