In this work, we investigated the interplay and the influence of lighting and blind control models on the heating, cooling, and lighting energy loads of an office room. By including different stochastic models for occupancy and appliances, we built a compl ...
This thesis proposes a framework for haptic devices interacting with virtual environments. As application of the theoretical results a haptic device for the surgical training of hysteroscopy, a gynecologic intervention, is presented. Surgery simulators, wh ...
The algorithm based on nonlinear optimisation as presented in this paper is applicable to the control of complex processes. The systematic approach is doing without the formulation of rules. In case of competing control targets a weighting in the sense of ...
In the context of energy storage with supercapacitors, the so called round trip efficiency is an important factor that can be strongly affected by the characteristics or performances of the used converter. This paper presents a dedicated DC-DC converter, w ...
To improve the resolution of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) a two-stage mechanical system, a so called Differential Delay Line (DDL), is developed jointly by the EPFL and the Observatory of Geneva. The system is designed to reach nanometer ...
We propose a novel optic-flow-based flight control strategy, inspired by recent observations and hypothesis by Baird (unpublished), to regulate independently forward speed and altitude. Unlike previous approaches where longitudinal ventral optic flow was u ...
The purpose of evaluation procedures is to achieve both qualitative and quantitative statements on haptic rendering realism and performance. Since a haptic interface provides an interaction between a user and a virtual environment, fidelity of a haptic int ...

Virtual reality is gaining on importance in many fields – scientific simulation, training, therapy and also more and more in entertainment. All these applications require the human user to interact with virtual worlds inhabited by intelligent characters an ...
Many maneuvers of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can be considered within a framework of trajectory following. Though this issue can differ from one application to another, they all share the same problem of finding an optimal path (or signal) to perform t ...
