Strain sensitive flexible magnetoelectric ceramic nanocomposites
Minsoo Kim, Donghoon Kim, Buse Aktas +5
Advanced flexible electronics and soft robotics require the development and implementation of flexible functional materials. Magnetoelectric (ME) oxide materials can convert magnet…
Programmable Control of Ultrasound Swarmbots through Reinforcement Learning
Matthijs Schrage, Mahmoud Medany, Daniel Ahmed
Powered by acoustics, existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures will become less invasive and new methods will become available that have never been available before. Acoustic…
Giant shape-memory effect in twisted ferroic nanocomposites
Donghoon Kim, Minsoo Kim, Steffen Reidt +7
The shape recovery ability of shape-memory alloys vanishes below a critical size (~50nm), which prevents their practical applications at the nanoscale. In contrast, ferroic materia…
Dynamic Task Space Control Enables Soft Manipulators to Perform Real-World Tasks
Oliver Fischer, Yasunori Toshimitsu, Amirhossein Kazemipour +1
Dynamic motions are a key feature of robotic arms, enabling them to perform tasks quickly and efficiently. Soft continuum manipulators do not currently consider dynamic parameters…
Reduced etch lag and high aspect ratios by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE)
M. S. Gerlt, N. F. Läubli, M. Manser +2
Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) with the Bosch process is one of the key procedures used to manufacture micron-sized structures for MEMS and microfluidic applications in silicon a…
Bio-inspired acousto-magnetic microswarm robots with upstream motility
Daniel Ahmed, David Hauri, Alexander Sukhov +4
The ability to propel against flows, i.e., to perform positive rheotaxis, can provide exciting opportunities for applications in targeted therapeutics and non-invasive surgery. To…
Covariance Intersection to Improve the Robustness of the Photoplethysmogram Derived Respiratory Rate
Jia Zhang, Gaetano Scebba, Walter Karlen
Respiratory rate (RR) can be estimated from the photoplethysmogram (PPG) recorded by optical sensors in wearable devices. The fusion of estimates from different PPG features has le…
A Deep Learning Approach to Diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis from Smartphone Data
Patrick Schwab, Walter Karlen
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the central nervous system with a wide range of symptoms. MS can, for example, cause pain, changes in mood and fatigue, and may impair a person's mo…
Forecasting intracranial hypertension using multi-scale waveform metrics
Matthias Hüser, Adrian Kündig, Walter Karlen +2
Objective: Acute intracranial hypertension is an important risk factor of secondary brain damage after traumatic brain injury. Hypertensive episodes are often diagnosed reactively,…
Nonlinear disturbance attenuation control of hydraulic robotics
Peng Lu, Timothy Sandy, Jonas Buchli
This paper presents a novel nonlinear disturbance rejection control for hydraulic robots. This method requires two third-order filters as well as inverse dynamics in order to estim…
A Projection Approach to Equality Constrained Iterative Linear Quadratic Optimal Control
Markus Giftthaler, Jonas Buchli
This paper presents a state and state-input constrained variant of the discrete-time iterative Linear Quadratic Regulator (iLQR) algorithm, with linear time-complexity in the numbe…
Mobile Robotic Fabrication at 1:1 scale: the In situ Fabricator
Markus Giftthaler, Timothy Sandy, Kathrin Dörfler +6
This paper presents the concept of an In situ Fabricator, a mobile robot intended for on-site manufacturing, assembly and digital fabrication. We present an overview of a prototype…
Evaluating direct transcription and nonlinear optimization methods for robot motion planning
Diego Pardo, Lukas Möller, Michael Neunert +2
This paper studies existing direct transcription methods for trajectory optimization applied to robot motion planning. There are diverse alternatives for the implementation of dire…
Unscented Orientation Estimation Based on the Bingham Distribution
Igor Gilitschenski, Gerhard Kurz, Simon J. Julier +1
Orientation estimation for 3D objects is a common problem that is usually tackled with traditional nonlinear filtering techniques such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) or the un…
