In this paper, we describe a series of techniques for building sensors, actuators and circuit boards that behave, look, and feel like paper. By embedding electro-active inks, condu...
We have previously proposed PTIDES (Programming Temporally Integrated Distributed Embedded Systems), a discrete-event framework that binds realtime with model time at sensors, act...
High configuration cost hampers the adoption of powerful home automation solutions. Automating the necessary configuration steps will alleviate this problem. The article define...
Abstract— Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) challenges the surgeon’s skills due to his separation from the operation area which can only be reached with long instruments. To ove...
Abstract— The latest technological progress in sensors, actuators and energy storage devices enables the developments of miniature VTOL1 systems. In this paper we present the res...
