Graph Chatbot

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.

Colloidal self-assembly of soft neural interfaces from injectable photovoltaic microdevices

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Zhangjun Huang, Murat Kaynak, Haiyan Jia

Biomimetic retinas with a wide field of view and high resolution are in demand for neuroprosthetics and robot vision. Conventional neural prostheses are manufactured outside the application area and implanted as a complete device using invasive surgery. He ...

Design of experiments to investigate multi-additive cellulose nanocrystal films

Tiffany Abitbol

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions can self-assemble into chiral nematic films upon the slow evaporation of water. These films are brittle, as indicated by their fracturing instead of plastically deforming once they are fully elastically deformed. Thi ...

Evo-Bots: A Simple, Stochastic Approach to Self-assembling Artificial Organisms

Francesco Mondada, Roderich Gross

This paper describes an alternative path towards artificial life-one by which simple modular robots with novel hybrid motion control are used to represent artificial organisms. We outline conceptually how such a system would work, and present a partial har ...

SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2019

Programmable self-assembly of modular robots offers promising means for structure formation at different scales. Rule-based approaches have been previously employed for distributed control of stochastic self-assembly processes. The assembly rate in the pro ...

SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2019

The newly emerged and quickly growing science of nanotechnology has been recognized as one of ``the twenty-first century's great leaps forward in scientific knowledge''. Self-assembly provides a powerful enabling technique for nanotechnology by providing a ...

Diyne-Functionalized Fullerene Self-Assembly for Thin Film Solid-State Polymerization

Roland Hany, Jakob Heier, Gaëtan Wicht, Raffaele Mezzenga

C-60 fullerene derivatives bearing aliphatic chains can self-assemble into versatile supramolecular structures. Cross-linking of such self-assembled morphologies is an attractive approach to enhance the structural stability of these self-organized structur ...

Physical interactions in swarm robotics: the hand-bot case study

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

This paper presents a case-study on the performance achieved by the mechanical interactions of self-assembling mobile robots. This study is based on the hand-bot robot, designed to operate within heterogeneous swarms of robots. The hand-bot is specialized ...

Design, Modeling and Optimization of Stochastic Reactive Distributed Robotic Systems

Grégory Mermoud

This dissertation describes a complete methodological framework for designing, modeling and optimizing a specific class of distributed systems whose dynamics result from the multiple, stochastic interactions of their constitutive components. These componen ...
