Design status of ITER ECH upper launcher mirrors

René Chavan, Jean-Daniel Landis, Francisco Sanchez, Robert Bertizzolo, Joseph Duron

The ITER ECH upper launcher is devoted to directing up to 8 2NM beams per port plug over half of the plasma cross section. A focusing mirror is used to achieve a very narrow deposition profile to stabilize MHD activity such as the neoclassical tearing mode ...

A 1.5g SMA-actuated Microglider looking for the Light

Dario Floreano, André Guignard, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Unpowered flight can be used in microrobotics to overcome ground obstacles and to increase the traveling distance per energy unit. In order to explore the potential of goal-directed gliding in the domain of miniature robotics, we developed a 22cm microglid ...

Omnidirectional Active Vision for Evolutionary Car Driving

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki, Jacob Van der Blij

We describe a set of simulations to evolve omnidirectional active vision, an artificial retina scanning over images taken via an omnidirectional camera, being applied to a car driving task. While the retina can immediately access features in any direction, ...

Immersive vehicle simulators for prototyping, training and ergonomics

Daniel Thalmann

In most vehicle simulators, complete physical mockups equipped with steering wheel, gearshift and pedals are required. These devices are essential in trying to simulate real conditions, but as a drawback the system becomes expensive, huge (non mobile), and ...
