This work addresses the problem of autonomously constructing the 3D model of an unknown object using a humanoid robot.More specifically, we consider a HRP-2 evolving...

Among the various natural hazards, mass movements (MM) are probably the most damaging to the natural and human environment in the Mediterranean countries, including...

The marginal rural territory is a “paradoxical entity”, torn between powerful neighbors and diverse cultural influences, but still possessing a unique personality. As...

Natural images are complex structures. Their modeling is essential for many tasks in image processing, and progress remains to be done in this direction. Properties of...

Industrial demand for numerical simulation of granular media is increasing for large systems. The case of interactions between grains such as unilateral contact with...

The reuse of soils after adding binder agents is becoming more and more applied. This treatment technique results in the improvement of the physical and mechanical...

Molecular recognition has become a very important field of research in chemistry during the last decades. This<br />chemical phenomenon is responsible for all...

Recent progress in the definition of decisional mechanisms has allowed computer-based systems to become more and more autonomous. For example, service robots can...

La restitution de la géometrie originelle des corps sédimentaires (cartographie, décompaction), l'étude du fonctionnement des morphologies et l'approche des...

Le risque écotoxicologique des métaux présents dans le milieu naturel dépend beaucoup plus de leur statut physico-chimique que de leur concentration totale. Afin de...

The peridotite xenoliths from kimberlites are classified into three textural groups and seven textural subtypes: the coarse-grained textures (equant or tabular), the...
