Use of a DC-DC step up converter in photovoltaic plants for increased electrical energy production and better utilization of covered surface area

An important parameter for the economy of a photovoltaic plant is the coefficient of generated power to needed surface. An analysis of this relationship is done for different solar plants and losses generated by the transmission within such a plant are cal ...

When Children Teach a Robot to Write: An Autonomous Teachable Humanoid Which Uses Simulated Handwriting

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Deanna Hood

This article presents a novel robotic partner which children can teach handwriting. The system relies on the learning by teaching paradigm to build an interaction, so as to stimulate meta-cognition, empathy and increased self-esteem in the child user. We h ...

Improvement in precision grip force control with self-modulation of primary motor cortex during motor imagery

Roger Gassert, Maria Laura Blefari

Motor imagery (MI) has shown effectiveness in enhancing motor performance. This may be due to the common neural mechanisms underlying MI and motor execution (ME). The main region of the ME network, the primary motor cortex (M1), has been consistently linke ...

A parametric multi-convex splitting technique with application to real-time NMPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours

A novel splitting scheme to solve parametric multi-convex programs is presented. It consists of a fixed number of proximal alternating minimisations and a dual update per time step, which makes it attractive in a real-time Nonlinear Model Predictive Contro ...

Disrupting the ipsilateral motor cortex interferes with training of a complex motor task in older adults

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Performance of unimanual movements is associated with bihemispheric activity in the motor cortex in old adults. However, the causal functional role of the ipsilateral MC (iMC) for motor control is still not completely known. Here, the behavioral consequenc ...
