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.

Robotic Wheelchairs: Scientific Experimentation or Social Intervention?

Tom Edward Carlson

Abstract— Research in robotics is becoming an ever more applied science. Roboticists acknowledge the existence of a role for experiments in their research, but whether the results of such experiments provide useful information to the intended industry or p ...

Resilience of acid subalpine grassland to short-term liming and fertilisation

Thomas Spiegelberger, Claire Emilie Deléglise

A fertilisation experiment was started in the French Alps on an acid grassland at 2000 m in 1989 where lime as calcium carbonate ("liming") and Thomas Slag enriched by potassium chloride ("fertilisation") were added in a random block design until 1992. Sin ...

Combinatorial necklace splitting

Doemoetoer Palvoelgyi

We give a new, combinatorial proof for the necklace splitting problem for two thieves using only Tucker's lemma (a combinatorial version of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem). We show how this method can be applied to obtain a related recent result of Simonyi and ev ...

Microrobotics: Methods and Applications

Yves Bellouard

From conception to realization, Microrobotics: Methods and Applications covers all aspects of miniaturized systems that physically interact and manipulate objects at the microscale. It provides a solid understanding of this multidisciplinary field, which c ...

MATHKNOW

Alfio Quarteroni

Mathematics forms bridges between knowledge, tradition, and contemporary life. The continuous development and growth of its many branches, both classical and modern, permeates and fertilizes all aspects of applied science and technology, and so has a vital ...

Sources and detectors of fast ions for basic devices

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Gennady Plyushchev

The physics of supra thermal test ions in turbulent plasmas can be conveniently studied in basic plasma physics devices, which allow high-resolution measurements of plasma and fast ion parameters and wave fields throughout the whole plasma cross-section. W ...

Discontinuous Galerkin method applied to fragmentation of heterogeneous materials

Jean-François Molinari, Sarah Levy, Raul Radovitzky

Since it generates a multitude of interacting cracks, the computational modeling of fragmentation requires special attention. The discontinuous Galerkin formulation provides an efﬁcient scalable framework to simulate non-linear dynamics of spatially discon ...

A Performance Survey on Deflection Routing Techniques for OBS Networks

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier

In this paper, we present a survey comparing different deflection routing based techniques applied to optical burst switching (OBS) networks. For such study we consider the E-OBS architecture proposed in [1] which is an advantageous solution for OBS networ ...

Ultralow-dissipation optomechanical resonators on a chip

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser

Cavity-enhanced radiation-pressure coupling of optical and mechanical degrees of freedom gives rise to a range of optomechanical phenomena, in particular providing a route to the quantum regime of mesoscopic mechanical oscillators. A prime challenge in cav ...

Digital control of a piezoelectric motor

Stefan Rigert

A digital controller for piezoelectric motors was developed. The controller tunes the driving frequency in order to maximize the power transmitted to the motor. A maximum of power is absorbed when the resonant frequency of the mechanical and electrical par ...
