Optimization of elastic wave propagation in a reconfigurable medium by genetic algorithms with adaptive mutation probability

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Janez Rus

We introduce a reconfigurable medium for the manipulation of elastic propagation properties of Lamb waves. It is based on a shape memory polymer (SMP) with temperature-dependent Young's modulus. Waves are excited by a laser pulse and detected by a laser vi ...

An autonomous untethered fast soft robotic insect driven by low-voltage dielectric elastomer actuators

Yves Perriard, Herbert Shea, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Matthias Imboden, Xinru Ji, Vito Cacucciolo, Xiaobin Ji, Xinchang Liu

Insects are a constant source of inspiration for roboticists. Their compliant bodies allow them to squeeze through small openings and be highly resilient to impacts. However, making subgram autonomous soft robots untethered and capable of responding intell ...

Helping each other teach: design and realisation of a social tutoring platform

Denis Gillet, Sten Govaerts

Today a wide range of technologies exist that support learning and teaching, ranging from learning management systems (LMS) to general social media platforms, such as Facebook and blogs. However, teaching with such tools and platforms can create various ob ...

Closed-loop PLM for intelligent products in the era of the Internet of things

Dimitrios Kyritsis

With the advent of the information and related emerging technologies, such as RHO, small size sensors and sensor networks or, more generally, product embedded information devices (PEID), a new generation of products called smart or intelligent products is ...

Determining Control Strategies for Damage Tolerance of an Active Tensegrity Structure

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Sinan Korkmaz

Tensegrity structures are spatial, reticulate and lightweight systems composed of struts and cables. Stability is provided by a self-stress state between tensioned and compressed elements. Tensegrities have received interest among scientists and engineers ...

Capturing Order in Social Interactions

Alessandro Vinciarelli

As humans appear to be literally wired for social interaction, it is not surprising to observe that social aspects of human behavior and psychology attract interest in the computing community as well. The gap between social animal and unsocial machine was ...

Analysis of a Novel BAW-based Power Amplifier

Christian Enz

A novel MEMS-based co-designed power amplifier is presented. To introduce the analysis and evaluate the impact of realistic on-chip losses, two design approaches are discussed and compared. Then the study of the novel circuit, based on the integration of h ...

Timing-Error-Tolerant Network-on-Chip Design Methodology

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Federico Angiolini

With technology scaling, the wire delay as a fraction of the total delay is increasing, and the communication architecture is becoming a major bottleneck for system performance in systems on chip (SoCs). A communication-centric design paradigm, networks on ...

Analytical design and optimization of ultrasonic vibrational transducers for spinal surgery

John Murphy

Just about every other technical publication you pick up these days makes sweeping statements concerning the pressures on scientists, engineers, and industries as a whole to get to market in less time, with an improved, less expensive product. I am reminde ...
