The Laplacian model is the standard distribution for correlation noise estimation at the turbodecoder in Wyner-Ziv coding schemes. In practice, this hypothesis is not always satisfied and, regularly, the estimated model sensibly differs from the error dist ...
In this article we describe the use of a standard game console joystick, namely the Nintendo Wiimote, for controlling a HOAP-2 humanoid robot. We give a short overview on the use of tangible user interfaces, followed by the description of the used game con ...
We consider an optimization problem arising in the design of controllers for OLED displays. Our objective is to minimize the amplitude of the electrical current flowing through the diodes which has a direct impact on the lifetime of such a display. The opt ...
Networks on Chip (NoC) has been proposed as a scalable and reusable solution for interconnecting the ever- growing number of processor/memory cores on a single silicon die. As the hardware complexity of a NoC is significant, methods for designing a NoC wit ...
Ecologists and economists try to explain collective behavior in terms of competitive systems of selfish individuals with the ability to learn from the past. Statistical physicists have been investigating models which might contribute to the understanding o ...
The online generation of trajectories in humanoid robots remains a difficult problem. In this contribution, we present a system that allows the superposition, and the switch between, discrete and rhythmic movements. Our approach uses nonlinear dynamical sy ...
Since [years] we hear about Virtual Reality as a discipline that could potentially provide benefits to many applications. Basically, the principle of Virtual Reality consists in stimulating user senses in order to give the impression to be in another place ...
Single mols. that act as light-energy transducers (e.g., converting the energy of a photon into at.-level mech. motion) are examples of minimal mol. devices. Here, we focus on a mol. switch designed by merging a conformationally locked diarylidene skeleton ...
Beamforming (BF) improves the error rate performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems by spatial separation of the transmitted data streams. Spatial separation is achieved by multiplication of the transmit vector by a ...
