Exploring High-Performance and Energy-Efficient Architectures for Edge AI-Enabled Applications
Joshua Alexander Harrison Klein
The desire and ability to place AI-enabled applications on the edge has grown significantly in recent years. However, the compute-, area-, and power-constrained nature of edge devices are stressed by the needs of the AI-enabled applications, due to a gener ...
EPFL2024Design Space Exploration for Partitioning Dataflow Program on CPU-GPU Heterogeneous System
Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Aurélien François Gilbert Bloch
Dataflow programming is a methodology that enables the development of high-level, parametric programs that are independent of the underlying platform. This approach is particularly useful for heterogeneous platforms, as it eliminates the need to rewrite ap ...
SPRINGER2023Assessment of the technological viability of photoelectrochemical devices for oxygen and fuel production on Moon and Mars
Sophia Haussener, Byron Stuart Ross
Human deep space exploration is presented with multiple challenges, such as the reliable, efficient and sustainable operation of life support systems. The production and recycling of oxygen, carbon dioxide (CO2) and fuels are hereby key, as a resource resu ...
2023Policy-based Exploration of Equilibrium Representations (PEER): A topology grammar for generative conceptual structural design
Design exploration is a creative process that consists of the incremental generation of design candidates. Supported by digital means or not, the process handles the ill-structured nature of design and allows creativity to flourish through diversity of des ...
EPFL2022Mixplorer: Scaffolding Design Space Exploration through Genetic Recombination of Multiple Peoples’ Designs to Support Novices’ Creativity
Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis, Kevin Gonyop Kim
The ability to consider a wide range of solutions to a design problem is a crucial skill for designers, and is a major differentiator between experts and novices. One reason for this is that novices are unaware of the full extent of the design space in whi ...
2022Use of space analog missions as an educational tool in primary schools
Space exploration is a field that inspires a wide range of people, from children to university students, including the general public. With a return to the Moon planned for 2024 and the rapid expansion of the private industry, educating the next generation ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions
The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...
EPFL2022Mechanical design of the optical unit and structural subsystem for a lunar camera
The project was initiated by the Moon Village Association (MVA). It is a non-governmental association which regulates the exploration program of lunar missions. The MVA also works on the development of space technologies: the Payload1 project is a part of ...
2022How Florist Apprentices Explore Bouquet Designs: Supporting Design Space Exploration for Vocational Students
Pierre Dillenbourg, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Catharine Regina Monika Maria Oertel Genannt Bierbach
Context: Exploring the design space is an important process in a design task. In this study, we considered design space exploration for the learners in vocational education and training (VET). The goal of the study was to investigate how they explore the d ...
2021The cis-lunar ecosystem — A systems model and scenarios of the resource industry and its impact
Lunar resources is one of the many new putative business models that may transform space logistics. Yet it competes with Earth-based resources, in a complex trade-off involving both tech development & socioeconomic dynamics. This study models the size vs. ...
