Puppeteer and Marionette: Learning Anticipatory Quadrupedal Locomotion Based on Interactions of a Central Pattern Generator and Supraspinal Drive

Auke Ijspeert, Guillaume Denis Antoine Bellegarda, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani

Quadruped animal locomotion emerges from the interactions between the spinal central pattern generator (CPG), sensory feedback, and supraspinal drive signals from the brain. Computational models of CPGs have been widely used for investigating the spinal co ...

Neuronal correlates of goal-directed sensorimotor transformation in sensory, motor and higher-order cortical areas

Anastasiia Oryshchuk

An important function of the brain is to interpret incoming sensory information from the outside world to guide adaptive behavior. Understanding how and where sensory information is transformed into motor commands in a context- and learning-dependent manne ...

Planning for a Changing Climate without Accurate Predictions

Parag Rastogi, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan

Simulation is an informative tool to plan the design and renovation of engineering systems, but its use requires accurate inputs from the users. Inputs such as the unknown future operating conditions might be expected in a system’s lifetime, e.g., the futu ...

New perspectives for spatial planning in Switzerland: the role of ecosystem services

Rémi Jaligot

Spatial planning deals with the spatial expression of human activities in an integrated way to minimize their negative impacts on the natural and land systems. Rapid land use and land cover changes are important drivers of change of the benefits people der ...

Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...

Motion planning for CAVs in mixed traffic, a study on roundabouts

Ezequiel González Debada

Driving is a very challenging task to automatize despite how naturally and efficiently it may come to experienced human drivers. The complexity stems from the need to (i) understand the surrounding context and forecast how it is likely to evolve, (ii) plan ...

Information-gap decision theory (IGDT): a new promising method for management of uncertainties in hydropower projects: case study

Anton Schleiss, Felix Oberrauch

The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Effective values deviating from the estimates can have a signifi ...

The optimum is not the goal: Capturing the decision space for the planning of new neighborhoods

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Nils Christian Schüler, Sébastien Cajot

This article presents the development and application of a methodology that employs optimization not to seek the single or few optimal plan(s) but to provide planners with a systematic overview of their decision space. As urban development projects are not ...

Accounting for Price Endogeneity in Airline Itinerary Choice Models: An Application to Continental U.S. Markets

Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Jeffrey Newman

Network planning models, which forecast the profitability of airline schedules, support many critical decisions, including equipment purchase decisions. Network planning models include an itinerary choice model that is used to allocate air total demand in ...

A green productivity based process planning system for a machining process

Ian Anthony Stroud

In the metal cutting industry, manufacturers have strived to increase energy efficiency and to reduce environmental burdens through the use of dust collectors and waste disposers. It is more beneficial and efficient to apply the front-of-pipe technology th ...

K-Adaptability in Two-Stage Robust Binary Programming

Daniel Kuhn, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto, Wolfram Wiesemann

Over the last two decades, robust optimization has emerged as a computationally attractive approach to formulate and solve single-stage decision problems affected by uncertainty. More recently, robust optimization has been successfully applied to multi-sta ...

A multi-agent approach for planning activities in decentralized electricity markets

Edgard Gnansounou, Jun Dong, Abdelaziz Lahlou

Despite the rigour and ability of game theory to cope with oligopolistic electric markets, it fails to model many existing behaviours in the real-world circumstances. The traditional models such as statistical extrapolation or econometrics are not capable ...

Toward a Multi-Agent Architecture for Market Oriented Planning in Electricity Supply Industry

Edgard Gnansounou, Jun Dong, Abdelaziz Lahlou

The liberalization of the electricity supply industry has shifted the analyses and modelling activities from planning to operation. However, project studies and investment appraisal still require medium and long-term anticipation of the electricity market ...
