Measuring electro-adhesion pressure before and after contact

Electro-adhesion (EA) is a low-power, tunable, fast and reversible electrically-controlled adhesion method, effective on both conducting and insulating objects. Typically, only the electro-adhesive detachment force, i.e., the force required to separate an ...

Training Efficient Controllers via Analytic Policy Gradient

Dario Floreano, Davide Scaramuzza, Valentin Wüest

Control design for robotic systems is complex and often requires solving an optimization to follow a trajectory accurately. Online optimization approaches like Model Predictive Control (MPC) have been shown to achieve great tracking performance, but requir ...

Computational conceptual design — typological exploration of spatial truss systems through optimization

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Pierluigi D'Acunto

Exploring a wide range of design options is crucial for every sound conceptual design process. In the conventional structural design workflow, optimization techniques are generally employed to generate well-performing design options. However, focusing only ...

Localization errors of the stochastic heat equation

David Jean-Michel Candil

In this thesis, we study the stochastic heat equation (SHE) on bounded domains and on the whole Euclidean space

\R^d.

We confirm the intuition that as the bounded domain increases to the whole space, both solutions become arbitrarily close to one another ...

Compact, Spatial-mode-interaction-free, Ultralow-loss, Nonlinear photonic integrated circuits

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He, Xinru Ji, Zheru Qiu

We implement Euler bends to build compact high-Q Si3N4 racetrack microresonators, featuring a small footprint of only 0.21 mm(2) for 19.8 GHz FSR. We demonstrate that these multi-mode microresonators can be operated in the single-mode regime and generate a ...

Mechanical Properties of FRP Materials at Elevated Temperature. Definition of a Temperature Conversion Factor for Design in Service Conditions

Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido

One of the main concerns about the use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in civil engineering structural applications is the potential reduction of their stiffness- and strength-related properties when exposed to elevated temperature. The first p ...

Self-morphing Soft Parallel-and-coplanar Electroadhesive Grippers Based on Laser-scribed Graphene Oxide Electrodes

Djen Timo Kühnel

Electroadhesion is a versatile and controllable adhesion mechanism that has been used extensively in robotics. Soft electroadhesion embodies electrostatic adhesion in soft materials and is required for shape-adaptive and safe grasping of curved objects and ...
