Extending the Spectrum of Dysgraphia: A Data Driven Strategy to Estimate Handwriting Quality

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Mateo Chapatte

This paper proposes new ways to assess handwriting, a critical skill in any child’s school journey. Traditionally, a pen and paper test called the BHK test (Concise Evaluation Scale for Children’s Handwriting) is used to assess children’s handwriting in Fr ...

Automated Design Tool for Automotive Control Actuators

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Cyril Picard

Automated design tools are seldom used in industry. Their potential, however, is high, especially in companies mostly active in variant design, where custom tools could help cut down development time in the early stages. The design of geared electro-mechan ...

Analysis and Remediation of Handwriting difficulties

Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn

Even with correct training, up to 25% of children never master handwriting like their peers. While research shows a correlation between handwriting difficulties and school failure, these difficulties can also impact children in their self esteem and behavi ...
