Symbiotic nutrient exchange enhances the long-term survival of cassiosomes, the autonomous stinging-cell structures of Cassiopea

Anders Meibom, Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Gaëlle Delphine Toullec, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby

Medusae of the widely distributed upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea release autonomous, mobile stinging structures. These so-called cassiosomes play a role in predator defense and prey capture, and are major contributors to “contactless” stinging incidents i ...

Predicting the dynamic behavior of Francis turbine generating units

Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

To reduce CO2 emissions and tackle global warming, an increasing amount of electrical power consumed around the world must be obtained from renewable sources. Among these sources, hydropower has not only the advantage of leaving a very small carbon footpri ...

Exploiting Natural Dynamics in Biped Locomotion using Variable Impedance Control

Auke Ijspeert, Jesse van den Kieboom

Biped locomotion has been extensively studied using various approaches, including Passive Dynamic Walking, ZMP-based control and biologically inspired muscle models. In biped locomotion robotics, there has been an increasing interest in variable impedance ...

Scratching as a Fracture Process: From Butter to Steel

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present results of a hybrid experimental and theoretical investigation of the fracture scaling in scratch tests and show that scratching is a fracture dominated process. Validated for paraffin wax, cement paste, Jurassic limestone and steel, we derive a ...

Numerical study of dynamic Smagorinsky models in large-eddy simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer: Validation in stable and unstable conditions

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Vineet Kumar

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow is performed over a homogeneous surface with different heat flux forcings. The goal is to test the performance of dynamic subgrid-scale models in a numerical framework and to compare the ...

Compact Q-Learning Optimized for Micro-robots with Processing and Memory Constraints

Roland Siegwart, Masoud Asadpour

Scaling down robots to miniature size introduces many new challenges including memory and program size limitations, low processor performance and low power autonomy. In this paper we describe the concept and implementation of learning of a safewandering ta ...

Compact fast-steering tip/tilt laser scanner for high power material processing applications

Moustapha Hafez

The common configuration for deflecting laser beams in two dimensions is based on two single-axis galvanometric scanners placed perpendicular to each other. Over recent years, these fast scanners have proved to be both very reliable and very accurate. They ...
