Contrary to preconceived ideas, the vast majority of older people have the necessary skills to use digital tools. Although they do not like to rely solely on digital solutions, they are willing to use digital tools to enhance their lives – but have specifi ...
Christopher Wren imagined and designed a weather-clock which could register the traces of multiple meteorological instruments (barometer, thermometer, rain gauge, hygrometer etc.). Wren presented his machine on different occasions, under different forms: v ...
Self-assembling robotic systems form a subclass of distributed robotic systems that undertake the fundamental task of structure formation. These systems build desired target structures by putting their constituting robotic modules together in a distributed ...
Our ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects involves our dexterous hands, our sense of touch, and feedback from our eyes and muscles that allows us to maintain a controlled grip. Billard and Kragic review the progress made in robotics to emulate thes ...
Interlocking assemblies have a long history in the design of puzzles, furniture, architecture, and other complex geometric structures. The key defining property of interlocking assemblies is that all component parts are immobilized by their geometric arran ...
Medical implant devices have been widely used in recent years. The Super-Regenerative Receiver has been on preferred architecture due to its power advantage over other architectures. We present a detailed analysis of the circuits and their equivalent model ...
The social design approach presented in this chapter was developed to ensure that the new smart living lab building includes not only sus- tainable environmental and economic aspects, but also social aspects. By better understand- ing the preferences and a ...

We present the design and implementation of SafetyPin, a system for encrypted mobile-device backups. Like existing cloud-based mobile-backup systems, including those of Apple and Google, SafetyPin requires users to remember only a short PIN and defends aga ...
The talk addresses space and its project in the contemporary urban/climatic condition. In the transition occurring, new tools and ideas are needed and the traditional ones are there to be questioned. On the basis of a set of recent design experiences, the ...
