Challenges and Opportunities of Edge AI for Next-Generation Implantable BMIs
Mahsa Shoaran, Mohammad Ali Shaeri, Arshia Afzal
Neuroscience and neurotechnology are currently being revolutionized by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. AI is widely used to study and interpret neural signals (analytical applications), assist people with disabilities (prosthetic applica ...
IEEE2022Current Solutions and Future Trends for Robotic Prosthetic Hands
Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Francesco Iberite
The desire for functional replacement of a missing hand is an ancient one. Historically, humans have replaced a missing limb with a prosthesis for cosmetic, vocational, or personal autonomy reasons. The hand is a powerful tool, and its loss causes severe p ...
ANNUAL REVIEWS2021Computational model of the dorsal horn circuitry for innocuous touch
Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni
Providing a naturalistic tactile sensory feedback is currently one of the key challenges in neuroprosthetics. Modeling has played a fundamental role in the development of "biomimetic" stimulation protocols, determining optimal activation patterns to be eli ...
IEEE2021High-yield, wafer-scale fabrication of ultralow-loss, dispersion-engineered silicon nitride photonic circuits
Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Guanhao Huang, Junqiu Liu, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He, Nils Johan Engelsen, Tianyi Liu
Low-loss photonic integrated circuits and microresonators have enabled a wide range of applications, such as narrow-linewidth lasers and chip-scale frequency combs. To translate these into a widespread technology, attaining ultralow optical losses with est ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021Addressable Acoustic Actuation of 3D Printed Soft Robotic Microsystems
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Murat Kaynak, Pietro Luciano Jakobus Dirix
A design, manufacturing, and control methodology is presented for the transduction of ultrasound into frequency-selective actuation of multibody hydrogel mechanical systems. The modular design of compliant mechanisms is compatible with direct laser writing ...
2020New insights on the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils using cryo-electron microscopy
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira
Fibrils of alpha-synuclein are significant components of cellular inclusions associated with several neuropathological disorders including Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies. In recent years, technological advances i ...
2020Towards the alignment of educational robotics learning systems with classroom activities
The technological advances of the past years have impressively demonstrated that the digital age is no longer just a science fiction vision of the future - we are in the midst of it. The digital transformation is affecting many areas of our lives, includin ...
EPFL2020Proceedings of the International fib Symposium on Conceptual Design of Structuresheld at the Torroja Institute, in Madrid, SpainSeptember 26-28, 2019
Conceptual design plays a leading role in defining the end-performance of structures. Facing new global challenges and embracing new technological opportunities, structural designers are encouraged to develop more creativity in their projects. Each project ...
fib2019Forged Authenticity: Governing Deepfake Risks
The manipulation of digital content is not a new phenomenon, but the application of machine learning to the creation of deepfakes has (i) radically improved the quality of output, (ii) slashed the resources required to produce realistic fakes at previously ...
EPFL International Risk Governance Center (IRGC)2019Minimalist Design of a 3-Axis Passive Compliant Foot for Sprawling Posture Robots
Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat
A sprawled posture amphibious biorobot resembling a salamander had helped us in conquering scientific questions of the locomotion of these animals and offer us with technological possibilities for applications in disaster response. However, so far the foot ...
