Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Taxels (HAXELs) for Full Body Haptics

Herbert Shea, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The ability to mechanically stimulate touch receptors over the entire body is a key feature for fully immersive and highly realistic virtual reality experience. Haptic stickers, flexible arrays of HAXELs (hydraulically amplified TAXels), that enable cutane ...

A Personalized Approach to Improve Walking Detection in Real-Life Settings: Application to Children with Cerebral Palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Although many methods have been developed to detect walking by using body-worn inertial sensors, their performances decline when gait patterns become abnormal, as seen in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to evaluate if fine-tuni ...

Analysis of lightning electromagnetic field propagation in mountainous terrain and its effects on ToA-based lightning location systems

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Zhaoyang Wang, Keyhan Sheshyekani, Dongshuai Li, Qilin Zhang

In this paper, we analyze the propagation effects on lightning-radiated electromagnetic fields over mountainous terrain by using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We also discuss the time delay error in the time-of-arri ...

Learning to integrate contradictory multisensory self-motion cue pairings

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steven Gale, Sunho Lee

Humans integrate multisensory information to reduce perceptual uncertainty when perceiving the world and self. Integration fails, however, if a common causality is not attributed to the sensory signals, as would occur in conditions of spatiotemporal discre ...

Quantifying the Human Likeness of a Humanoid Robot

Joachim von Zitzewitz

In research of human-robot interactions, human likeness (HL) of robots is frequently used as an individual, vague parameter to describe how a robot is perceived by a human. However, such a simplification of HL is often not sufficient given the complexity a ...

High Intensity Beam Issues in the CERN Proton Synchrotron

Sandra Aumon

This PhD work is about limitations of high intensity proton beams observed in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) and, in particular, about issues at injection and transition energies. With its 53 years, the CERN PS would have to operate beyond the limit of i ...

The Impact of Liars on Reputation in Social Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jochen Mundinger

We consider a closed social network with a certain proportion of liars who are trying to influence their peers reputation about some subject. Each persons reputation about this subject is based on both own direct experience and second hand information fr ...

Direction-selective motion blindness after unilateral posterior brain damage

Olaf Blanke

Motion blindness (MB) is defined as the selective disturbance of visual motion perception despite intact perception of other features of the visual scene. MB is characterized by a pandirectional deficit of motion direction discrimination and is assumed to ...
