The problem of finding thermally minimizing configurations of a humanoid robot to recover its actuators from unsafe thermal states is addressed. A first-order, data-driven, effort-based, thermal model of the robot's actuators is devised,…
High-density through-substrate vias (TSVs) enable 2.5D/3D heterogeneous integration but introduce significant signal-integrity and thermal-reliability challenges due to electrical coupling, insertion loss, and self-heating. Conventional…
In this paper, we study the thermodynamic cost associated with erasing a static random access memory. By combining the stochastic thermodynamics framework of electronic circuits with machine learning-based optimization techniques, we show…
The electrocaloric effect refers to the temperature change in a material when an electric field is applied or removed. Significant breakthroughs revealed its potential for solid-state cooling technologies in past decades. These devices…
Although we can measure muscle activity and analyze their activation patterns, we understand little about how individual muscles affect the joint torque generated. It is known that they are controlled by circuits in the spinal cord, a…
Precise control is an essential and elusive quality of emerging self-driving microscopes. It is widely understood these instruments must be capable of performing rapid, high-volume, and arbitrary movements for practical self-driving…
The efficiency of deep machine learning for automatic delineation of tumor areas has been demonstrated for intraoperative neuronavigation using active IR-mapping with the use of the cold test. The proposed approach employs a matrix…
Energy consumption optimization of a two-link planar robotic arm is considered with the system's efficiency being the target for optimization. A new formulation of thermodynamic principles within the framework of dynamical systems is used.…
We introduce an algorithmic model of heat conduction, the thermodynamic graph. The thermodynamic graph is analogous to meshes in the finite difference method in the sense that the calculation of temperature is carried out at the vertices of…
Digital image processing techniques have wide applications in different scientific fields including the medicine. By use of image processing algorithms, physicians have been more successful in diagnosis of different diseases and have…
Our paper presents a non-destructive thermal transient measurement method that is able to reveal differences even in the micron size range of MEMS structures. Devices of the same design can have differences in their sacrificial layers as…
In the contemporary world with degrading natural resources, the urgency of energy efficiency has become imperative due to the conservation and environmental safeguarding. Therefore, it's crucial to look for advanced technology to minimize…
One of the main causes of long-term prosthetic abandonment is the lack of ownership over the prosthesis, caused mainly by the absence of sensory information regarding the lost limb. One strategy to overcome this problem is to provide…
Tissue stiffness is related to soft tissue pathologies and can be assessed through palpation or via clinical imaging systems, e.g., ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Typically, the image based approaches are not suitable during…
The use of topology optimization methods for the design of electric machines has become increasingly popular over the past years. Due to a desired increase in power density and a recent trend to high speed machines, thermal aspects play a…
Robotic-assisted surgery offers significant clinical advantages but largely eliminates direct haptic feedback, increasing the risk of excessive tool-tissue interaction forces. Although recent commercial systems have begun to introduce force…
In this paper we report on a novel simulation tool designed for the 3D coupled electro-thermal simulation of Smart Power Mosfets, that is a tool capable of taking into account not only the electrical (and thermal) behaviour of the power…
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a widely used non-destructive testing technique for detecting structural features such as subsurface defects. However, most IRT post-processing methods generate image sequences in which defect visibility…
Minimally invasive surgery is highly operator dependant with a lengthy procedural time causing fatigue to surgeon and risks to patients such as injury to organs, infection, bleeding, and complications of anesthesia. To mitigate such risks,…
Cutting mechanics in soft solids have been a subject of study for several decades, an interest fuelled by the multitude of its applications, including material testing, manufacturing, and biomedical technology. Wire cutting is the simplest…
