Architecture of a decentralised decision support system for futuristic beehives
Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills
Honeybees are essential to human society, providing pollination services globally as well as producing honey and other valuable products. Effective management of apiaries should not only rely on beekeeper knowledge and skill, but also incorporate new infor ...
2024A robotic honeycomb for interaction with a honeybee colony
Francesco Mondada, Robert Matthew Mills, Rafael Botner Barmak
Robotic technologies have shown the capability to interact with living organisms and even to form integrated mixed societies composed of living and artificial agents. Biocompatible robots, incorporating sensing and actuation capable of generating and respo ...
2023Insect-Inspired Visual Perception for Flight Control and Collision Avoidance
Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur
Flying robots are increasingly used for tasks such as aerial mapping, fast exploration, video footage and monitoring of buildings.
Autonomous flight at low altitude in cluttered and unknown environments is an active research topic because it poses challen ...
EPFL2019Cross-pollination of normalisation techniques from speaker to face authentication using Gaussian mixture models
This paper applies score and feature normalization techniques to parts-based Gaussian mixture model (GMM) face authentication. In particular, we propose to utilize techniques that are well established in state-of-the-art speaker authentication, and apply t ...
2012Human exposure to allergenic pollens: A comparison between urban and rural areas
Background: Pollinosis is found more frequently in urban areas than in rural environments. This could be partly related to the different types of pollen exposure in these dissimilar areas. The objective of this study was to compare the distribution of poll ...
Elsevier2011A pilot study on the pollen representation of mountain valley vegetation in the central Alps
The relative pollen productivity (RPP) of Pinus cembra, Larix, Picea, Gramineae, and Cyperaceae was estimated for the Upper Engadine area, an inner-alpine sub-continental valley in SE Switzerland lying above 1800 m a.s.l. The influx of pollen originating f ...
2008Pollen productivity estimates and relevant source area of pollen for selected plant taxa in a pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains (Switzerland)
Alexandre Buttler, Pascal Vittoz
Relevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and pollen productivity for 11 key taxa characteristic of the pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains, Switzerland, were estimated using pollen assemblages from moss polsters at 20 sites. To obtain robust poll ...
