In this paper, we propose a novel framework capable of generating various walking and running gaits for bipedal robots. The main goal is to relax the fixed center of mass (CoM) height assumption of the linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM) and generate a w ...
The development of a robust material model able to accurately describe fibre bed compaction at different strain and strain rates is highly desirable because it is essential for the simulation of many composite manufacturing processes. In this study, we inv ...
When looking at the city and the land, current architectural practices face a double limitation. On the one hand, the discipline is asked to react to its own specter: the body of authoritarian spatial devices based on a questionable tradition of which the ...
We present a method for making neural network predictions robust to shifts from the training data distribution. The proposed method is based on making predictions via a diverse set of cues (called 'middle domains') and ensembling them into one strong predi ...
MR is a well-established technique routinely used in preclinical and clinical studies. This thesis focussed on the improvement of sensitivity of different methods in MR.Hyperpolarized 129Xe gas is used for studying pulmonary disease or cerebral perfusion ...
Background Cyanobacteria and their toxins occur in high concentrations during the so-called bloom events in surface waters. To be able to assess the risks associated with cyanobacterial blooms, we need to understand the persistence and fate processes of th ...
This project aims at studying the non-unicity of crack paths in materials using the phase-field approach. The energy functional to be minimized in the variational phase-field modelling of brittle fracture is not convex. Hence, multiple local minima can coe ...
Trajectory inference methods have emerged as a novel class of single-cell bioinformatics tools to study cellular dynamics at unprecedented resolution. Initial development focused on adapting methods based on clustering or graph traversal, but recent advanc ...
Background: Tractography uses diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively infer the macroscopic pathways of white matter fibers and it is the only available technique to probe in vivo the structural connectivity of the brain. However, despite thi ...
While suction cups prevail as common gripping tools for a wide range of real-world parts and surfaces, they often fail to seal the contact interface when engaging with irregular shapes and textured surfaces. In this work, the authors propose a suction-base ...
