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 ...

Metasurface-stabilized optical microcavities

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

Cavities concentrate light and enhance its interaction with matter. Confining to microscopic volumes is necessary for many applications but space constraints in such cavities limit the design freedom. Here we demonstrate stable optical microcavities by cou ...

Participatory design of a social robot and robot-mediated storytelling activity to raise awareness of gender inequality among children

Barbara Bruno, Romain Maure

Gender inequality is a widespread problem in our society. It can manifest itself in many ways and contexts, and starting as early as primary school. While an increasing number of initiatives aim at tackling gender biases and inequalities, few of them are a ...

The challenges of quasi-static and fatigue experiments of structural adhesives

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Valentin Perruchoud

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign designed specifically to investigate unexpected and unwanted failures observed during the quasi-static and fatigue tensile loading of structural adhesives. Simple finite element models were also d ...

A Knowledge Management Approach Supporting Model-Based Systems Engineering

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu, Lei Feng

Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a noval approach to support complex system development by formalizing system artifacts and development using models. Though MBSE models provide a completely structural formalisms about system development for system ...

Seeking Quality Diversity in Evolutionary Co-design of Morphology and Control of Soft Tensegrity Modular Robots

Dario Floreano, Davide Zappetti, Davide Zambrano, Giovanni Iacca

Designing optimal soft modular robots is difficult, due to non-trivial interactions between morphology and controller. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), combined with physical simulators, represent a valid tool to overcome this issue. In this work, we investi ...

Children, Robots, and Virtual Agents: Present and Future Challenges

Shruti Chandra, Elmira Yadollahi

Research on child-agent interaction is rapidly expanding. It is, therefore, necessary to converge our collective efforts to broaden our understanding and perspectives of how virtual agents, affect and potentially improve the well-being of children. "Childr ...

RetroWrite: Statically Instrumenting COTS Binaries for Fuzzing and Sanitization

Mathias Josef Payer, Duo Xu

Analyzing the security of closed source binaries is currently impractical for end-users, or even developers who rely on third-party libraries. Such analysis relies on automatic vulnerability discovery techniques, most notably fuzzing with sanitizers enable ...

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 ...
