Sensory-Motor Neurostimulation to Enhance Exosuit Performance

Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle

Exosuits typically provide limited mechanical support and rely on a user's residual functional ability. However, people with neurological impairments often suffer from both motor and sensory deficits that limit the assistance an exosuit can provide. To ove ...

An Industrial West? Analyzing Multilingual Newspapers Discourses about Technology during the Second Industrial Revolution (1840-1930)

While the idea of technology as a driving force of history and society has been extensively studied in the history of the Industrial Revolutions, little attention has been paid to the social perception of those technologies. This thesis focuses on the disc ...

Development of a numerical model to assess the influence of fluid-structure interactions on the dynamic behavior of geomembrane systems in pressure waterways

Simon Randin

The need to maintain and expand hydraulic structures is a major challenge for the coming energy transition, especially in Western countries. One technique already widespread allowing to meet these issues consists in the use of geomembranes to overcome prob ...

A solution method for predictive simulations in a stochastic environment

Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

Predictive gait simulations currently do not account for environmental or internal noise. We describe a method to solve predictive simulations of human movements in a stochastic environment using a collocation method. The optimization is performed over mul ...

The pleasantness of sensory dissonance is mediated by musical style and expertise

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Tudor Popescu

Western musical styles use a large variety of chords and vertical sonorities. Based on objective acoustical properties, chords can be situated on a dissonant-consonant continuum. While this might to some extent converge with the unpleasant-pleasant continu ...

Statistical characteristics of tonal harmony: A corpus study of Beethoven’s string quartets

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Daniel Harasim

Tonal harmony is one of the central organization systems of Western music. This article characterizes the statistical foundations of tonal harmony based on the computational analysis of expert annotations in a large corpus. Using resampling methods, this s ...

Bipedal walking and push recovery with a stepping strategy based on time-projection control

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Seyed Hamed Razavi

In this paper, we present a simple control framework for online push recovery on biped robots with dynamic stepping properties. Owing to relatively heavy legs in our humanoid robot COMAN, we use a linear model called 3LP, which is composed of three pendulu ...

Imprecise dynamic walking with time-projection control

Auke Ijspeert, Philippe Müllhaupt, Salman Faraji

We present a new walking foot-placement controller based on 3LP, a 3D model of bipedal walking that is composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing and torso dynamics. Taking advantage of linear equations and closed-form solutions of the 3LP mode ...

Skilled Indians in Europe: knowledge transfer and social impact

Gabriela Tejada Guerrero

Within the migration and development nexus, the recognition of skilled migrants as active agents of transformation, which function as bridges for the circulation of knowledge, ideas and talents between countries, has gained importance in recent times. Whil ...

Changes in Employment Localization and Accessibility

Pierre-Emmanuel Dessemontet

Until about the end of WWII, the territorial organization of the economy could be expressed along a very strong center-periphery gradient, with industries and services concentrated in cities while the countryside supplied agricultural products. Since the i ...
