Flow Path Optimization for Soft Pneumatic Actuators: Towards Optimal Performance and Portability

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Sagar Dattatray Joshi

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are highly desirable for interactive robotics applications owing to their unconventional properties like high compliance, safe human-machine interaction and adaptable design space. The SPA dynamic behaviour is governed by pn ...

Semi-Discrete Optimal Transport: Hardness, Regularization and Numerical Solution

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Bahar Taskesen

Semi-discrete optimal transport problems, which evaluate the Wasserstein distance between a discrete and a generic (possibly non-discrete) probability measure, are believed to be computationally hard. Even though such problems are ubiquitous in statistics, ...

Mathematical Foundations of Robust and Distributionally Robust Optimization

Daniel Kuhn, Jianzhe Zhen, Wolfram Wiesemann

Robust and distributionally robust optimization are modeling paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty where the uncertain parameters are only known to reside in an uncertainty set or are governed by any probability distribution from within an ambigu ...

On Katznelson's Question for skew product systems

Florian Karl Richter

Katznelson's Question is a long-standing open question concerning recurrence in topological dynamics with strong historical and mathematical ties to open problems in combinatorics and harmonic analysis. In this article, we give a positive answer to Katznel ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Polynomial Densities: Theory, Models and Algorithms

Daniel Kuhn

In distributionally robust optimization the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is itself uncertain, and a fictitious adversary, e.g., nature, chooses the worst distribution from within a known ambiguity set. A common shortcoming o ...

Distributionally Robust Mechanism Design

Daniel Kuhn, Cagil Kocyigit, Wolfram Wiesemann

We study a mechanism design problem where an indivisible good is auctioned to multiple bidders, for each of whom it has a private value that is unknown to the seller and the other bidders. The agents perceive the ensemble of all bidder values as a random v ...

Distributional Robustness in Mechanism Design

Cagil Kocyigit

Mechanism design theory examines the design of allocation mechanisms or incentive systems involving multiple rational but self-interested agents and plays a central role in many societally important problems in economics. In mechanism design problems, agen ...

Rusty dinosaurs and the surviving species in the new energy system? Analysing urban utilities in the German and Swiss energy transition

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Susan Marie Mühlemeier

After the nuclear accident in Fukushima, amongst others Germany and Switzerland decided to accelerate the sustainability transition of their energy systems not only by expanding the share of renewables actively but also by quitting nuclear power. Regarding ...

A smartphone application to determine body length for body weight estimation in children: a prospective clinical trial.

Davide Scaramuzza

The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and accuracy of a smartphone application to measure the body length of children using the integrated camera and to evaluate the subsequent weight estimates. A prospective clinical trial of children aged 0–< ...

New Developments in Rock Fall Hazard Assessment and Zoning: An Application of the Cadanav Methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...
