In between is a layer with monitoring and reporting functionality. In this paper we propose a behaviour engine for this middle layer which, based on formalism of hybrid state machines (HSMs), bridges the gap between high-level strategic decision making and low-level actuator control. The behaviour engine has to execute and monitor behaviours and reports status information back to the higher level. To be able to call the behaviours or skills hierarchically, we extend the model of HSMs with dependencies and sub-skills. These Skill-HSMs are implemented in the lightweight but expressive Lua scripting language which is well-suited to implement the behaviour engine on our target platform, the humanoid robot Nao.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NiemuellerFerreinBecketal.2010, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Ferrein, Alexander and Beck, Daniel and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Design principles of the component-based robot software framework Fawkes}, series = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, booktitle = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-17319-6_29}, pages = {300 -- 311}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The idea of component-based software engineering was proposed more that 40 years ago, yet only few robotics software frameworks follow these ideas. The main problem with robotics software usually is that it runs on a particular platform and transferring source code to another platform is crucial. In this paper, we present our software framework Fawkes which follows the component-based software design paradigm by featuring a clear component concept with well-defined communication interfaces. We deployed Fawkes on several different robot platforms ranging from service robots to biped soccer robots. Following the component concept with clearly defined communication interfaces shows great benefit when porting robot software from one robot to the other. Fawkes comes with a number of useful plugins for tasks like timing, logging, data visualization, software configuration, and even high-level decision making. These make it particularly easy to create and to debug productive code, shortening the typical development cycle for robot software.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NguyenRaatschenStaat2010, author = {Nguyen, N.-H. and Raatschen, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Staat, Manfred}, title = {A hyperelastic model of biological tissue materials in tubular organs}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{Naujokat2010, author = {Naujokat, Anke}, title = {Ut rhetorica architectura - Leon Battista Alberti´s Technique of Architectural Collage / Leon Battista Albertis architektonische Collagetechnik}, series = {Candide : journal for architectural knowledge}, volume = {2}, journal = {Candide : journal for architectural knowledge}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, issn = {1869-6465}, pages = {73 -- 100}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Leon Battista Alberti, probably the most innovative architect of early Renaissance Italy, has always fascinated scholars by virtue of the striking interpenetration of theory and practice manifest in his work.

Without the benefit of the formative influence of a master or design education, the roots of his conception of architecture lie in his intellectual formation through humanistic rhetoric.

Previously, we presented computational analysis of the blood pump flow. From the analysis, we were able to identify regions of high shear and recirculating flow that may cause blood damage, for example, deformation and fragmentation of the red blood cell (RBC). This mechanical hemolysis can be predicted using a tensor-based blood damage model that is based on the physical properties of the RBCs, for example, the relaxation time of the RBC membrane. However, an extensive and detailed analysis was complicated by the fact that the previous method predicts hemolysis along a finite number of pathlines traversed by the RBCs, possibly omitting parts of the flow domain. Furthermore, it is computationally expensive and is not easily parallelizable. Here, we propose a new method to estimate hemolysis. The method is based on treating the shape of droplet (tensor) as a field variable, like velocity in the Navier-Stokes system. The governing equation for the RBC shape is treated by least-squares finite element method and the volume conservation of the RBC is augmented by Lagrangian multiplier. Unlike the previous method, the proposed method can visualize areas of high RBC strain that is potentially dangerous for mechanical hemolysis. Also, the amount of plasma-free hemoglobin and, consequently, normalized index of hemolysis can be computed as a byproduct. The method is tested in a simple shear flow for validation and an artery graft flow is chosen to show its potential usefulness. Finally, the method is applied to the blood damage estimation for the pump.}, language = {en} }
