Sustainability and Ethicality are Peripheral to Students’ Software Design

Bryan Alexander Ford, Siara Ruth Isaac, Aditi Kothiyal, Pierluca Borsò

The conceptual design phase is a fascinating moment to observe how a design task is interpreted, as the (often implicit) relative importance students accord to the various requirements and constraints offers a window into the thinking underpinning their de ...

An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity

Volker Gass, Tatiana Maillard, Claude Nicollier

In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term missions. To ...

Four-Arm Manipulation via Feet Interfaces

Aude Billard, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez, Anaïs Betsabeh Haget

We seek to augment human manipulation by enabling humans to control two robotic arms in addition to their natural arms using their feet. Thereby, the hands are free to perform tasks of high dexterity, while the feet-controlled arms perform tasks requiring ...

Serviceability assessment of energy pile groups through design charts

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

The estimation of the vertical displacement of energy pile groups subjected to thermal (and mechanical) loads is needed for a complete geotechnical and structural design of the piles in situations where these foundations may be located sufficiently close t ...
