Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores
The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...
EPFL2024Feasibility Study and Preliminary Design of Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Rodriguez Martinez, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
With orbiting stations and ground bases planned to be built, we are yet to master the ability to explore long term and long range over areas of the Moon often characterised by an extreme topography, dauntingly low temperatures, and wedged with what are kno ...
2022Feasibility analysis and preliminary design of a Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
This thesis presents the feasibility analysis and preliminary design of a new Lunar Reconnaissance Drone. The system’s objective, which is composed of the drone and a service station, is to assist a large-scale rover mission into low-light zones of the Moo ...
2022Preliminary Design of a Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
In this report, a preliminary design study of a compact lunar reconnaissance drone module which will assist exploration rovers is presented. It is designed to assist future exploratory rover missions in difficult environments such as PSRs or extreme topogr ...
