This thesis is about modelling, design and control of Miniature Flying Robots (MFR) with a focus on Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) systems and specifically, micro quadrotors. It introduces a mathematical model for simulation and control of such syste ...
In this paper we develop a multi-agent simulation model to explore the issue of learning in interorganizational networks. Though interorganizational network researchers generally agree that when firms form into networks they will gain access to new knowled ...
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 ...
Real-time simulation of knot-tying with visual and force feedback is essential to VR surgery training. We present a physics-based simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic speed. The virtual thread obeys Newton's laws and behaves naturally. The ...
Al0.49Ga0.51N/Al0.16Ga0.84N distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), designed for the ultraviolet spectral region, are reported. The crack-free structures are grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. A peak reflectivity of 91% at ...
Shapes incorporate geometry as well as semantics and can be defined in 2D, 3D or higher dimensions. Geometric models can be structured in such a way that they can provide a relevant framework to insert semantic information or view dependent information abo ...
Our research focuses on the behavioral animation of virtual humans who are capable of taking actions by themselves. We deal more specifically with reinforcement learning methodologies, which integrate in an original way the RL agent and the autonomous virt ...
This paper introduces a framework for real-time simulation and rendering of crowds navigating in a virtual environment. The solution first consists in a specific environment preprocessing technique giving rise to navigation graphs, which are then used by t ...

Real-time simulation of thread and knot-tying with visual and force feedback is an essential part of virtual reality laparoscopic training. This paper presents a physics-based thread simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic rendering rate. The ...
For use in a Virtual Reality based training system for surgical micromanipulation, we have developed a fast multi- scale FEM algorithm that concentrates detail where needed while still handling global deformations. The resulting 6- to 7-fold speed up is pr ...
