Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Étude et optimisation d'un convertisseur DC/DC à canaux multiples entrelacés

Yannick Louvrier

In a context in which economy and ecology follow historically opposed trajectories, renewable energies appear as an interesting compromise. However, the energy production from these emerging technologies is well below that of their ancestors, and their cos ...

Vision-based control of near-obstacle flight

Antoine Beyeler

Lightweight micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) capable of autonomous flight in natural and urban environments have a large potential for civil and commercial applications, including environmental monitoring, forest fire monitoring, homeland securi ...

A Minimalist Control Strategy for Small UAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Severin Leven

Most autopilots of existing Miniature Unmanned Air Vehicles (MUAVs) rely on control architectures that typically use a large number of sensors (gyros, accelerometers, magnetometers, GPS) and a computationally demanding estimation of flight states. As a con ...

Technology and Manufacturing of Ultralight Micro Air Vehicles

Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Adam Klaptocz

Recent advances in Micro Air Vehicles have produced impressive results for platform weighing below 50 g. The lightest platforms to take flight with a minimum of functionality are below 0.5 g, but researchers dream of flying at insect size. However many dif ...

Autonomous flight in confined or cluttered environments such as houses or urban canyons requires high manoeuvrability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and very limited overall system weight. Although flying animals are well capable of coping with su ...

Bio-inspired Flying Robots: Experimental Synthesis of Autonomous Indoor Flyers

Jean-Christophe Zufferey

This book demonstrates how bio-inspiration can lead to fully autonomous flying robots without relaying on external aids. Most existing aerial robots fly in open skies, far from obstacles, and rely on external beacons – mainly GPS – to localise and navigate ...

A Low-cost, Safe and Easy-to-Use Flying Platform for Outdoor Robotic Research and Education

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Severin Leven

Aerial Robotics are interesting and useful tools because they have some intrinsic advantages over ground and water based systems, like the possibility to observe things from above or to locomote without being perturbed by obstacles and rough terrain. Howev ...

Pheromone-based Swarming for Position-less MAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler

Unlike existing aerial swarm systems, we aim at developing algorithms which do not require global or relative positioning information concerning agents and their neighbors. This alleviates the need for sensors which require calibration, are expensive and h ...
