Enhancing patient freedom in rehabilitation robotics using gaze-based intention detection

Several design strategies for rehabilitation robotics have aimed to improve patients' experiences using motivating and engaging virtual environments. This paper presents a new design strategy: enhancing patient freedom with a complex virtual environment th ...

Social modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Andrea Serino

The space around the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal neurons integrating tactile, visual, and auditory stimuli occurring near the body [ ...

Detecting leak regions through model falsification

Ian Smith, Gaudenz Moser

Pressurized fluid-distribution networks are strategic elements of infrastructure. In the case of fresh-water distribution networks, advanced sensor-based diagnostic methodologies have the potential to provide enhanced management support. Since a significan ...

On-shoe wearable sensors for gait and turning assessment of patients with Parkinson’s disease

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani

Assessment of locomotion through simple tests such as timed up and go (TUG) or walking trials can provide valuable information for the evaluation of treatment and the early diagnosis of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Common methods used in clinics a ...

A framework to implement Stakeholder participation in environmental projects

Alexandre Buttler, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Marc Parlange, Vincent Luyet

Participation has emerged as an appropriate approach for enhancing natural resources management. However, despite long experimentation with participation, there are still possibilities for improvement in designing a process of stakeholder involvement by ad ...

Detection and Classification of Postural Transitions in Real-World Conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

This study proposes a new robust classifier for sit-to-stand (SiSt) and stand-to-sit (StSt) detection in daily activity. The monitoring system consists of a single inertial sensor placed on the trunk. By using dynamic time warping, the trunk acceleration p ...

Effect of drop in pipe wall stiffness on water-hammer speed and attenuation

Anton Schleiss, Fadi Hachem

The effect of local drop of wall stiffness in pressurized waterways on the pressure wave speed and the wave attenuation during transients is investigated experimentally. A new signal-processing procedure to identify the presence of a weak reach is introduc ...

Coupled dynamical system based arm-hand grasping model for learning fast adaptation strategies

Aude Billard, Ashwini Shukla

Performing manipulation tasks interactively in real environments requires a high degree of accuracy and stability. At the same time, when one cannot assume a fully deterministic and static environment, one must endow the robot with the ability to react rap ...

Biomass selection by floods and related timescales: Part 1. Experimental observations

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier, Peter Molnar, Zhe Jiang

Several research investigations have explored the interaction between morphodynamic and vegetation growth processes from both the modelling and the experimental viewpoints. Results have mainly been concerned with morphologic analyses of the effects of vege ...

Expectations as Endowments: Evidence on Reference-Dependent Preferences from Exchange and Valuation Experiments

Andreas Fuster

While evidence suggests that people evaluate outcomes with respect to reference points, little is known about what determines them. We conduct two experiments that show that reference points are determined, at least in part, by expectations. In an exchange ...
