Match Normalization: Learning-Based Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation in the Real World

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang

In this work, we tackle the task of estimating the 6D pose of an object from point cloud data. While recent learning-based approaches have shown remarkable success on synthetic datasets, we have observed them to fail in the presence of real-world data. We ...

Control upgrade for the TCV coils power supplies

Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Nicolas Cherix

The Tokamak a` Configuration Variable (TCV) coil converters are fed, during the plasma pulse, by a flywheel generator (FG) providing the AC voltages few seconds before the plasma pulse. The synchronization with the 120 Hz frequency delivered by the FG, var ...

Exploring the efficacy of reservoir fine sediment management measures through numerical simulations

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Montana Marshall

Reservoir sedimentation is one of the main challenges in the sustainable operation of large reservoirs because it causes volume loss, affecting hydropower production capacity, dam safety, and flood management. To ensure the sustainability of deep reservoir ...

Peeling in electroadhesion soft grippers

Herbert Shea, Vito Cacucciolo

Electroadhesion endows robots with super-human abilities: mechanical geckoes that climb vertical walls and soft grippers that grasp the most delicate objects. Based on electrostatics, the adhesion forces are turned on and off by an electrical signal, promi ...

Swiss Energy System 2050: Pathways to Net Zero CO2 and Security of Supply - Basic report

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Oliver Kröcher

This report aims at assessing pathways and formulating recommendations for the transformation of the Swiss energy system necessary to achieve the net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission target by 2050 (BFE 2017a) set by the Federal Council taking into accou ...

Stabilization of the linearized water tank system

Shengquan Xiang

In this article we study the so-called water tank system. In this system, the behavior of water contained in a 1-D tank is modelled by Saint-Venant equations, with a scalar distributed control. It is well-known that the linearized systems around uniform st ...

Uplift mechanics of unanchored liquid storage tanks subjected to lateral earthquake loading

Konstantinos Bakalis

Motivated by the seismic response of unanchored liquid storage tanks, their uplift mechanism under strong lateral loading is examined. Using three-dimensional finite element models, nonlinear static analysis is conducted to define the moment-rotation relat ...

Source noise suppression in attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy by edge-pixel referencing

Hugo Jean Baptiste Marroux

Attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) is used to observe photoexcited dynamics with outstanding time resolution. The main experimental challenge of this technique is that high-harmonic generation sources show significant instabilities, result ...

Towards quantum 3D imaging devices

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Samuel Burri, Arin Can Ülkü, Paul Mos, Michael Alan Wayne

We introduce a new generation of 3D imaging devices based on quantum plenoptic imaging. Position-momentum entanglement and photon number correlations are exploited to provide a scan-free 3D image after post-processing of the collected light intensity signa ...

Downside Up:Rethinking Parcel Position for Aerial Delivery

Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, William John Stewart

The conventional approach to parcel placement in most delivery drone designs today is to place the parcel centrally beneath the drone's rotor plane. However, if the parcel is too large, this will result in an obstruction of the propeller slipstream, incurr ...

A simple and effective method based on strain projections to alleviate locking in isogeometric solid shells

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

In this work, we focus on the family of shell formulations referred to as "solid shells", where the simulation of shell-type structures is performed by means of a mesh of 3D solid elements, with typically only one element through the thickness. We propose ...

Science Communication Desperately Needs More Aligned Recommendation Algorithms

Le Nguyen Hoang

With 1 billion watch-time hours per day, YouTube now plays a major role in communication. Unfortunately, a large amount of misinformation is produced and widely shared on this platform (Donzelli et al., 2018; Allgaier, 2019; Loeb et al., 2019). In this pap ...

The Role of Machine Learning in the Understanding and Design of Materials

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Developing algorithmic approaches for the rational design and discovery of materials can enable us to systematically find novel materials, which can have huge technological and social impact. However, such rational design requires a holistic perspective ov ...

Effect of building overtopping on induced loads during extreme hydrodynamic events

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Tsunamis, impulse-waves and dam-break waves have affected humanity in recent decades and the construction of vertical shelters can provide safety to people. However, for non-critical infrastructures, typically residential houses of lower height, overtoppin ...

Fitting Markovian binary trees using global and individual demographic data

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne, Katharine Felicity Turner

We consider a class of continuous-time branching processes called Markovian binary trees (MBTs), in which the individuals lifetime and reproduction epochs are modelled using a transient Markovian arrival process (TMAP). We develop methods for estimating th ...
