Vision-based Flocking in Aerial Robot Swarms

Aerial robot swarms have the potential to perform time-critical and dangerous tasks such as disaster response without compromising human safety. However, their reliance on external infrastructure such as global positioning for localization and wireless net ...

Model Predictive Control of Aerial Swarms

Enrica Soria

Aerial robot swarms can have a large socio-economic impact. They can perform time-critical missions faster than a single robot and access dangerous environments without compromising human safety. However, swarm deployment is often limited to free environme ...

Re-creating Memories of Gulou: Three Temporalities and Emotions

Florence Graezer Bideau

In 2012, a project proposed by local authorities aimed to revitalise, after a century of interruption, the use of Beijing’s Bell and Drum Towers and the social traditions associated with them. As a result, more than 100 households living in 66 traditional ...

Scalable Marine Bus-Tie Switch for Switchboard Interconnections

Drazen Dujic, Gabriele Ulissi

DC power distribution systems in marine applications are in the process of being established as the preferred solution for shipboard power distribution systems. This paper presents a bus-tie switch topology for the protection of such systems. The device is ...

Dynamic Safe Interruptibility for Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Hadrien Hendrikx

In reinforcement learning, agents learn by performing actions and observing their outcomes. Sometimes, it is desirable for a human operator to \textit{interrupt} an agent in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening. Yet, as part of their learni ...

Anatomy of a Drop-Off Reading Curve

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet

Not all readers finish the book they start to read. Electronic media allow to us to measure more precisely how this “drop-off” effect unfolds as readers are reading a book. A curve showing how many people have read each chapter of a book is likely to be pr ...

Investigation of the "permanent" electrochemical promotion of catalysis (P-EPOC) by electrochemical mass spectrometry (EMS) measurements

Christos Comninellis, Cyril Falgairette, Chun Xia

The phenomenon of electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) is most often fully reversible. Subsequent to long-lasting polarization, however, the new steady-state open-circuit catalytic activity after current interruption may remain significantly highe ...

Method to manage the load of peripheral elements within a multicore system

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Federico Angiolini

The aim of the present invention is to propose a method to provide reliability, power management and load balancing support for multicore systems based on Networks- on-Chip (NoCs) as well as a way to efficiently implement architectural support for this met ...

A Hall sensor analog front end for current measurement with continuous gain calibration

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a new technique for continuously calibrating the sensitivity of a current measurement microsystem based on a Hall magnetic field sensor. An integrated reference coil generates a magnetic field for calibration. Using a variant of the cho ...

Arrested phase separation in a short-ranged attractive colloidal system: A numerical study

Giuseppe Foffi, Francesco Sciortino

We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short-ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures below the critic ...
