Talk Topic: Physical and computational modeling of smart homes Abstract: Novel “smart” technologies such as smart homes, smart grids, variable pricing, and local energy markets promise both better overall efficiency for the providers, a greener home, and lower prices. However, they also create unexpected problems. During the February 2021 North-American Ice Storm, the deregulated energy market in Texas came dangerously close to collapse, leading to rolling brownouts and loss of service in many homes that relied on electric power for heating. As a response, the variable pricing system shot ...

Rehabilitation robotics leverages the principle of "practice makes perfect" by using repetitive task-based exercises to facilitate motor re-learning and functional recovery, particularly in poststroke rehabilitation. Rooted in neurocognitive rehabilitation theories, robot-assisted therapies provide tailored, intensive training routines that meet individual patient needs. Learning control (LC) strategies, originally developed in 1978 to achieve high tracking performance in industrial applications, offer a compelling framework for controller designs in this field. Unlike traditional co...

Recent developments in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks are focused on multiple beam and reconfigurable antenna systems as a mean to increase data rates and to provide more flexibility in resource allocation. Some synergies between space and terrestrial systems are emerging as the fifth generation (5G) of wireless systems introduce millimeter-wave frequencies for short range and indoor applications. This provides a unique opportunity for transfer of technology, as requirements for satcom user terminals and cell tower antennas present some similarities. While phased array antennas ...
