Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Haptic Guidance with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Bioinspired morphing wings for extended flight envelope and roll control of small drones

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Flavio Noca, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Matteo Di Luca

Small-winged drones can face highly varied aerodynamic requirements, such as high manoeuvrability for flight among obstacles and high wind resistance for constant ground speed against strong headwinds that cannot all be optimally addressed by a single aero ...

Foldable Drones: from Biology to Technology

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Jun Shintake

Current drones are developed with a fixed morphology that can limit their versatility and mission capabilities. There is biological evidence that adaptive morphological changes can not only extend dynamic performances, but also provide new functionalities. ...

An origami-inspired cargo drone

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski

Multicopters stand to revolutionize parcel delivery because of their capability to operate in areas with unsuitable road infrastructure and precisely maneuver in cluttered environments. However, current multicopters for delivery can be dangerous for people ...

Bio-inspired Tensegrity Soft Modular Robots

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Jun Shintake, Davide Zappetti

In this paper, we introduce a design principle to develop novel soft modular robots based on tensegrity structures and inspired by the cytoskeleton of living cells. We describe a novel strategy to realize tensegrity structures using planar manufacturing te ...
