Human-machine interface for two-dimensional steering control with the auricular muscles

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Daniel Jose Lins Leal Pinheiro

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) can be used to decode a user's motor intention to control an external device. People that suffer from motor disabilities, such as spinal cord injury, can benefit from the uses of these interfaces. While many solutions can be ...

Simultaneous Acoustic Localization of Multiple Smartphones with Euclidean Distance Matrices

Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

In this paper, we present an acoustic localization system for multiple devices. In contrast to systems which localize a device relative to one or several anchor points, we focus on the joint localization of several devices relative to each other. We presen ...

From ecological construction to sustainable urban development : the Ecoparc project in Neuchâtel (Switzerland)

Emmanuel Rey

The present logic of built environment dispersion appears incompatible with the concept of sustainable development. The peripheral expansion of cities is indeed leading to irrational use of ground, growing environmental impact and important infrastructure ...
