Chemoreception and chemotaxis of a three-sphere swimmer
Stevens Paz, Roberto F. Ausas, Juan P. Carbajal +1
The coupled problem of hydrodynamics and solute transport for the Najafi-Golestanian three-sphere swimmer is studied, with the Reynolds number set to zero and Péclet numbers (Pe) r…
Learning by mistakes in memristor networks
Juan Pablo Carbajal, Daniel Alejandro Martin, Dante Renato Chialvo
Recent results in adaptive matter revived the interest in the implementation of novel devices able to perform brain-like operations. Here we introduce a training algorithm for a me…
Memristors for the Curious Outsiders
Francesco Caravelli, Juan Pablo Carbajal
We present both an overview and a perspective of recent experimental advances and proposed new approaches to performing computation using memristors. A memristor is a 2-terminal pa…
Appraisal of data-driven and mechanistic emulators of nonlinear hydrodynamic urban drainage simulators
Juan Pablo Carbajal, João Paulo Leitão, Carlo Albert +1
Many model based scientific and engineering methodologies, such as system identification, sensitivity analysis, optimization and control, require a large number of model evaluation…
Building ArtBots to Attract Students into STEM Learning
Francis wyffels, Willem Van de Steene, Jelle Roets +2
There is an increasing worldwide demand for people educated into science and technology. Unfortunately, girls and underprivileged students are often underrepresented in Science, Te…
Memristor models for machine learning
Juan Pablo Carbajal, Joni Dambre, Michiel Hermans +1
In the quest for alternatives to traditional CMOS, it is being suggested that digital computing efficiency and power can be improved by matching the precision to the application. M…
Robustness: a new SLIP model based criterion for gait transitions in bipedal locomotion
Harold Roberto Martinez Salazar, Juan Pablo Carbajal, Yuri P. Ivanenko
Bipedal locomotion is a phenomenon that still eludes a fundamental and concise mathematical understanding. Conceptual models that capture some relevant aspects of the process exist…
Bio-inspired friction switches: adaptive pulley systems
Konstantinos Dermitzakis, Juan Pablo Carbajal
Frictional influences in tendon-driven robotic systems are generally unwanted, with efforts towards minimizing them where possible. In the human hand however, the tendon-pulley sys…
Synthesis and Adaptation of Effective Motor Synergies for the Solution of Reaching Tasks
Cristiano Alessandro, Juan Pablo Carbajal, Andrea d'Avella
Taking inspiration from the hypothesis of muscle synergies, we propose a method to generate open loop controllers for an agent solving point-to-point reaching tasks. The controller…
Magneto-mechanical actuation model for fin-based locomotion
Juan Pablo Carbajal, Naveen Kuppuswamy
In this paper, we report the results from the analysis of a numerical model used for the design of a magnetic linear actuator with applications to fin-based locomotion. Most of the…
SNF Project Locomotion: Progress report 2008-2009

Summary of results (project period 1. 10. 2008 - 30. 9. 2009) of SNFS Project "From locomotion to cognition" The research that we have been involved in, and will continue to do, st…
SNF Project Locomotion: Final report 2009-2010
Matej Hoffmann, Juan Pablo Carbajal, Marc Ziegler
Summary of results in last project period (1. 10. 2009 - 30. 9. 2010) of SNFS Project "From locomotion to cognition" The research that we have been involved in, and will continue t…
Promoting scientific thinking with robots
Juan Pablo Carbajal, Dorit Assaf, Emanuel Benker
This article describes an exemplary robot exercise which was conducted in a class for mechatronics students. The goal of this exercise was to engage students in scientific thinking…
Exploiting the Passive Dynamics of a Compliant Leg to Develop Gait Transitions
Harold Roberto Martinez Salazar, Juan Pablo Carbajal
In the area of bipedal locomotion, the spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model has been proposed as a unified framework to explain the dynamics of a wide variety of gaits. In…
Modeling and frequency domain analysis of nonlinear compliant joints for a passive dynamic swimmer
Juan Pablo Carbajal, Rafael Bayma, Marc Ziegler +1
In this paper we present the study of the mathematical model of a real life joint used in an underwater robotic fish. Fluid-structure interaction is utterly simplified and the moti…
