Dynamic ornament: An investigation of responsive thermochromic surfaces in architecture

Jeffrey Huang, Mark Meagher, David Van der Maas, Christian Abegg

This paper describes the use of environmental sensor data as a basis for the design of architectural ornament that takes on a distinctive appearance in response to the atmospheric conditions where it is located. Among the goals of the project were the iden ...

A Simple Learning Strategy for High-Speed Quadrocopter Multi-Flips

Raffaello D'Andrea

We describe a simple and intuitive policy gradient method for improving parametrized quadrocopter multi-flips by combining iterative experiments with information from a first-principles model. We start by formulating an N-flip maneuver as a five-step primi ...
