FrED Manufacturing - A Study in Affordable Manufacturing to Scale using Desktop Sized Fiber Extrusion Device by Rosko, Rachael S.

“…Some complications included reliability of the diameter reading from the USB camera, physics of the hot glue preform, and motor speed assumptions which did not perform well under close-loop testing (spool speed going to 0 in order to make the diameter larger consequently prevents the camera from reading any future diameter measurements which is problematic). …”

Associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with next-day cognitive performance in older adults: a micro-longitudinal study by Bloomberg, M, Brocklebank, L, Doherty, A, Hamer, M, Steptoe, A

“…Methods: British adults aged 50-83 years (N = 76) without evidence of cognitive impairment or dementia wore accelerometers for eight days, and took daily cognitive tests of attention, memory, psychomotor speed, executive function, and processing speed. …”

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”
