Proboscis search & rescue. Worm-like Softrobot for Search and Rescue Missions
(2018)Even though earthquakes are older than mankind, rescue equipment is still quite rudimentary. Currently, buried victims can be located with dogs or drones, but to reach them, large amounts of debris and other obstacles have to be removed carefully. This can take several days as heavy machinery and a lot of manpower is required. The goal of Focus Project Proboscis is to shortcut the rescue process and work on a physical solution to ...Student Paper -
CEU (Centros Educacionair Unificados) : Translating socio-democratic values through the formation of community integrated educational spaces
(2017)The CEUs, or Unified Education Centres (Centros de Educacao Unificados) are public facilities conceived as local centres of urban life, located in the peripheral and disenfranchised areas of São Paulo, Brazil. The facilities are intended for education, culture and sport and are for both school students and the surrounding community. The centres were developed by the Municipal Buildings Department (EDIF), and designed by the architects ...Student Paper -
Low-power network design: work hard, play hard
(2019)Competing in a well-known competition in a field that you have no experience in can be hard for sure. In this semester thesis, we describe how we managed to design a low-power wireless protocol for a sensor network in less than 3 months of part-time work. Baloo is a novel protocol design framework, which offers an abstraction layer from the underlying hardware and enables fast protocol prototyping. Using Baloo, our goal was to create a ...Student Paper -
Is low-power wireless networking a reproducible science?
(2019)Recently, a noticeable number of attempts to reproduce experimental results across many different scientific fields were unsuccessful. In the field of low- power wireless networking, the dynamic behavior of the environment causes an inherited variability in the performance of wireless networking protocols, placing under consideration their reproducibility. In this semester project, a methodology for evaluating the performance of low- power ...Student Paper -
