Computational Fluid Dynamics Aided Design of the Propulsion and Locomotion Systems of a Bioinspired Robot Octopus (CFD-OctoProp)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The CFD-OctoProp project aims to investigate the fluid mechanics involved with the propulsion and locomotion systems of cephalopods by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. The development of an accurate kinematic and fluid dynamics model of the propelling apparatus of these soft-bodied organisms is intended to aid in the design of an actuator which will eventually be implemented in a ...

Smart Catheterization (SCATh)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

Modern medicine is irreversibly shifting towards less invasive surgical procedures. Conventional open surgery approaches are systematically being replaced by interventions that reduce access trauma and thereby minimise pain and hospitalisation periods for patients. The downside of this approach is that it is highly demanding for the interventionalist, entailing unacceptable risks for the patient. ...

Life-like Artefact for Motor-Postural Experiments and Development of new Control Technologies inspired by Rapid Animal locomotion (LAMPETRA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

The objective of the LAMPETRA proposal is developing lamprey/salamander bioinspired artefacts to perform neuroscientific studies related to goal-directed locomotion and to find new solutions for high-performance artificial locomotion, in terms of fast-response, adaptability, reliability, energy efficiency, and control. These issues will be pursued by implementing a bio-inspired artificial system ( ...

Advanced telematics for enhancing the SAFEty and comfort of motorcycle RIDERs (SAFERIDER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

Motorcycle and moped fatalities account for 17,8% of the total number of road accident fatalities in Europe and, compared to a passenger car occupant, a motorcycle rider is 26 times more likely to die in a crash, based on vehicle miles travelled, as riders are among the vulnerable road users.SAFERIDER aims to enhanced PTW riders' safety by applying ADAS/IVIS on PTWs of all types for the most cruci ...
