The article presents the Nice Grid demonstrator, its objectives as well as its technical and functional architecture. This Smart Grid pilot project is about demonstrating the management of distributed energy resources located in a solar district. Three innovative operation modes of the distribution grid will be tested in order to gain experience on improving network reliability through demand management,...
This paper describes Nice Grid, a demonstration project part of the European initiative Grid4EU. The project aims at developing a smart solar neighbourhood in the urban area of the city of Nice, France. The four year project started in November 2011 and will test the suitability of recent developments in distribution networks management for facilitating the connection of distributed renewable generators,...
Low-cost piezoresistive sensors can be of great interest in robotic applications due not only to their advantageous cost but to their dimension as well, which enables an advanced mechanical integration. In this paper, a comparison of two commercial piezoresistive sensors based on different technologies is performed in the case of a medical robotics application. The existence of significant nonlinearities...
In this paper, nonlinear modeling of low cost force sensors is considered for force control applications in robotic or biomechanical applications. Commercial force sensors are often expensive, with a limited use in severe conditions such as the presence of a strong magnetic field. On the contrary, thin film piezoresistive sensors such as the Tekscan Flexiforce and the Interlink FSR sensors are of...
This paper presents a new robotic system for automated image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation, a noninvasive technique for the treatment of neurologic pathologies such as depression. This stimulation technique requires the accurate positioning of a magnetic coil in order to induce a specific cortical excitation. The neurologist currently positions the coil manually by means of a navigation...
