Abstract:
Tactile sensors are the last frontier to robots that can handle everyday objects and interact with humans through contact. Robots are expected to recognize the properties of objects in order to handle them safely and efficiently in a variety of applications, such as health- and elder care, manufacturing, or high-risk environments. To be effective, such sensors have to sense the geometry of touched surfaces and objects, as well as any other relevant information for their tasks, such as forces, vibrations, and temperature, that allow them to safely and securely interact within an environment.

Abstract:
UV radiation has the ability to cause erythema, photoaging and photo-cancer. In 2010 Westminster wanted information on sources of artificial UV radiation in particular sunbeds. The objective of this study was to measure the spectral outputs from artifcial tanning units throughout England and to compare the outputs to European and British compliance levels. The emissions from the collated data allowed the calculation of exposure doses of each sunbed. By applying plausible sunbed exposure habits (no of sunbed sessions per year) it was possible to use this data in a skin cancer mathematical model

Abstract:
To solve the problem of limited tactile sensing in humanoid robotics as well as provide for future planned mechanical prostheses, an innovative tactile sensor system was created and embedded into two realistic-looking artificial skin gloves. These artificial skin tactile sensors used small piezoelectric ceramic disks to measure applied force at multiple points on each glove. The gloves were created using silicone rubber to simulate both the texture and look of human skin, while maintaining both flexibility and durability. The sensor outputs were buffered by high-impedance voltage-following

During embryonic development of animal skin tissue, the skin cells form regular patterns of high cell density (placodes) where hair or feathers will be formed.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health problem worldwide where the symptoms can be anything from mild concussion to severe swelling of the brain tissue. As a result of TBI the intracranial pressure (ICP) can elevate to pathological levels with severe consequences such as hypoxia, ischemia and brain hemorrhage. TBI and the subsequent ICP increase could hence lead to disability or in worst cases death.

Abstract:
The use of autonomous robots in our society is increasing every day and a robot is no longer seen as a tool but as a team member. The robots are now working side by side with us and provide assistance during dangerous operations where humans otherwise are at risk. This development has in turn increased the need of robots with more human-awareness. Therefore, this master thesis aims at contributing to the enhancement of human-aware robotics. Specifically, we are investigating the possibilities of equipping autonomous robots with the capability of assessing and detecting activities in human team

Abstract:
Depuis quelques années le recours à l’enneigement artificiel est de plus en plus courant dans les stations de ski des Alpes mais également dans les autres massifs français et étrangers. Cependant la production de neige nécessite l’utilisation d’un volume d’eau important, souvent pompé dans les réserves d’eau potable, les rivières, les nappes phréatiques, ou bien dans les réserves collinaires, elles-mêmes alimentées par captage des eaux de ruissellement. Or l’enneigement n’est pas le seul usage de l’eau dans les stations de sports d’hiver, et ce nouveau besoin concerne la saison hivernale lors

I studien undersöks relationen mellan svenska skidbranschens klimatberoende samt klimatpåverkan. Huvudfrågan är: Vad är skidbranschens ansvar i klimatfrågan och hur kommer branschen hantera förändringar i framtiden? Intervjuer samt tidigare forskning sattes i relation till teorier av Boserup, Ostrom samt Hess. Skidbranschen är enligt tidigare forskning till stor del beroende av ett kallt klimat samtidigt som branschen bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen, främst genom transporter. Utifrån informanterna samt tidigare forskning styr konsumenterna till stor del branschens utveckling och i enligh

Abstract:
Fusion Motion Capture (FMC), a wearable motion capture system was developed, and applied to the optimisation of athlete performance in alpine ski racing. In what may be a world first, the three-dimensional movements of a skilled athlete (with less than 20 FIS1 points) skiing through a complete training giant slalom racecourse were analysed. FMC consists of multiple light weight sensors attached to the athlete including inertial measurement units (IMUs), pressure sensitive insoles and a global position system (GPS) receiver. The IMUs contain accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. Limb o

To what extent is artificial intelligence able to undergo emotional relationships and experiences defined by the physicality and experience of the human body. The topic of the work is the creation of a (fictional) inhuman entity that longs to learn from people as many bodily acts as possible that will help it infiltrate the human community.

Two kinds of sensors, namely temperature and tactile sensors, were utilized to measure the environmental changes. We selected AD590J as the analog temperature sensors, and pressure sensitive electric conductive rubber CS57-7RSC (CSA) as the tactile sensors. Furthermore, the sensor networks were employed to detect sensor signals in high resolutions. Each sensor network consisted an 8-by-8 sensor array and a scanning circuit to acquire the individ

The flexible polyimide substrate was patterned by interdigitated copper electrodes for determining the resistivity change of the electro-resistive polymer, which increases with ambient temperature.

In order to reduce the number of animals used in trials, an in vitro model would be helpful. In this study, the idea is to create a skin substitute that could mimic the real skin by first develop a composite matrix for cell and tissue culture. There are four parts in this plan. First, obtain the type I collagen from porcine skin. Second, prepare a 3-D, sponge-liked (porous) collagen based matrix with chitosan and chondroitin sulfate. Third, investigate the phy
