We describe a process for enabling quadrocopters to perform and improve upon aerobatic maneuvers. We describe such maneuvers as a set of desired keyframes and a parametrized input trajectory. The full state trajectory of the vehicle is left unspecified - o ...
Dynamic stencil lithography uses a moving shadow-mask to draw patterns by having directionally evaporated material deposited through the stencil apertures onto the substrate. Sub-micrometre, two- dimensional patterning is demonstrated at full 100 mm wafer ...
Most cellular oscillators rely on interlocked positive and negative regulatory feedback loops. While a negative circuit is necessary and sufficient to have limit-cycle oscillations, the role of positive feedbacks is not clear. Here we investigate the possi ...
This paper investigates the limit behavior of Markov decision processes made of independent particles evolving in a common environment, when the number of particles goes to infinity. In the finite horizon case or with a discounted cost and an infinite hori ...
The fundamental idea that synchronized patterns emerge in networks of interacting oscillators is revisited by allowing a parametric learning mechanism to operate on the local dynamics. The local dynamics consist of stable limit cycle oscillators which, due ...
We study a collection of limit cycle oscillators with different frequencies interacting via networks. With static networks, our specific class of models produces a frequency learning mechanism leading the collection of oscillators to ultimately adopt a sin ...
The present work belongs to the vast body of research devoted to behaviors that emerge when homogeneous or heterogeneous agents interact. We adopt a stylized point of view in which the individual agents' activities can be assimilated into nonlinear dynamic ...
This paper investigates the limit behavior of Markov decision processes made of independent objects evolving in a common environment, when the number of objects (N) goes to infinity. In the finite horizon case, we show that when the number of objects becom ...
We study the dynamics of a network consisting of N diffusively coupled, stable- limit-cycle oscillators on which individual frequencies are parametrized by wk,k=1,...,N. We introduce a learning rule which influences the wk by driving the system t ...
A geometrical multiscale model for blood flow through an ideal left ventricle and the main arteries is presented. The blood flow in the three-dimensional idealized left ventricle is solved through a monolithic fluid-structure interaction solver. To account ...
