Benchmark for Bimanual Robotic Manipulation of Semi-deformable Objects

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Bernardo Fichera, Farshad Khadivar, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Ilaria Lauzana, Fanjun Bu

We propose a new benchmarking protocol to evaluate algorithms for bimanual robotic manipulation semi-deformable objects. The benchmark is inspired from two real-world applications: (a) watchmaking craftsmanship, and (b) belt assembly in automobile engines. ...

Trait-specific dispersal of bacteria in heterogeneous porous environments: from pore to porous medium scale

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Filippo Miele, David Scheidweiler

The dispersal of organisms controls the structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scales is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environment ...

Pneumatic supply system parameter optimization for soft actuators

Jamie Paik, Sagar Dattatray Joshi

Soft actuators using pressurized air are being widely used due to their inherent compliance, conformability and customizability. These actuators are powered and controlled by pneumatic supply systems (PSSs) consisting of components such as compressors, val ...

Bio-inspired design and validation of the Efficient Lockable Spring Ankle (ELSA) prosthesis

Mohamed Bouri, Renaud Ronsse, Bruno Dehez, François André Heremans

Over the last decade, active lower-limb prostheses demonstrated their ability to restore a physiological gait for transfemoral amputees by supplying the required positive energy balance during daily life locomotion activities. However, the added-value of s ...

Fully symmetrical single-suspension electrodynamic loudspeaker using a Halbach array

Hervé Lissek, Thomas Laurence

Invented at the end of the XIXth century, the electrodynamic loudspeaker has not much changed sincethen. Although the materials have greatly evolved, the geometry and the transduction principle staythe same. In many applications, the presence of two sets o ...

A practical method for seismic retrofit of tall buildings with supplemental damping

Dimitrios Lignos

Current simplified design methods for buildings with supplemental damping devices are mainly based on single-degreefreedom (SDF) shear-models. Common errors of such methods are attributed to the linearization of nonlinear damping and stiffness, higher buil ...

On-line micro-vibration measurement method for Lorentz-type magnetic-bearing space actuators

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Leopoldo Rossini, Guzmán Borque Gallego

A novel, cost-effective, real-time and on-line method for measuring the generated micro-vibrations and iden- tifying the forces in a magnetic bearing space actuator is proposed. For its validation, an actively-controlled electrodynamic (Lorentz-type) magne ...

Steady state in experimentally produced turbidity current under a large amount of suspension supply

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura, Jumpei Hitomi

Turbidity current is generated in an inclined lock-gate flume under a large amount of suspension supply. By opening the gate, turbidity current generates and flows to downstream. The turbidity current maintains its interface structure and progresses with c ...

Seismic retrofit of steel tall buildings with bilinear oil dampers

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents retrofit solutions for existing tall buildings by utilizing supplemental damping devices, namely oil dampers with relief valve (bilinear oil dampers). To this end, multiple retrofit schemes are presented for a benchmark 40-story steel m ...

Rheological behavior of colloidal suspension with long-range interactions

In this work, we study the constitutive behavior of interacting colloidal suspensions for moderate and high concentrations. Specifically, using a lattice Boltzmann solver, we numerically examine suspensions flowing through narrow channels, and explore the ...
