An Active Deployable Tensegrity Structure

Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Their stability is provided by a self-stress state among tensioned and compressed members. Although much progress has been made in advancing research into the tensegrit ...

People-Centric Mobile Sensing with a Pragmatic Twist: from Behavioral Data Points to Active User Involvement

Daniel Gatica-Perez

Mobile phones have recently been used to collect large-scale continuous data about human behavior. This people centric sensing paradigm is useful not only from a scientific point of view: Contextual user data has pragmatic value, too. Individuals whose dat ...

Modularity and parallel kinematics: an original design methodology applied to high precision

Reymond Clavel, Murielle Richard

This paper introduces a new methodology to design modular industrial ultra-high precision robots; it aims at significantly reducing both the complexity of their design and their development time. This modular concept can be considered as a robotic Lego®, w ...

Re-Use of c-Si Solar Cells from Failed PV Modules

Christophe Ballif, Hengyu Li, Laure-Emmanuelle Perret Aebi, Yun Luo

The recycling or re-use of failed c-Si PV modules could be a significant concern in the near future. The existing approaches for cell recovery can be improved both environmentally and economically friendly. Here we propose a novel double encapsulation modu ...

The impossibility of boosting distributed service resilience

Rachid Guerraoui

We study f -resilient services, which are guaranteed to operate as long as no more than f of the associated processes fail. We prove three theorems asserting the impossibility of boosting the resilience of such services. Our ﬁrst theorem allows any connect ...

Designing tensegrity modules for pedestrian bridges

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity systems are spatial structures composed of tensile and compression components in a self-equilibrated state of prestress. The tensegrity concept has already been studied by researchers in various fields over the past decades. A family of tensegri ...
