Pi of the Sky — all - sky , real - time search for fast optical transients ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
An apparatus to search for optical flashes in the sky is described. It has been optimized for gamma ray bursts (GRB) optical counterparts. It consists of 2 × 16 cameras covering all the sky. The sky is monitored continuously and the data are analysed on-line. It has self-triggering capability and can react to external triggers with negative delay. The prototype with two cameras has been install...
متن کاملExploiting Variable Stiffness in Explosive Movement Tasks
It is widely recognised that compliant actuation is advantageous to robot control once high-performance, explosive tasks, such as throwing, hitting or jumping are considered. However, the benefit of intrinsic compliance comes with high control complexity. Specifically, coordinating the motion of the system through a compliant actuator and finding a task-specific impedance profile that leads to ...
متن کاملSeedless clustering in all-sky searches for gravitational-wave transients
The problem of searching for unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts can be thought of as a pattern recognition problem: how to find statistically significant clusters in spectrograms of strain power when the precise signal morphology is unknown. In a previous publication, we showed how “seedless clustering” can be used to dramatically improve the sensitivity of searches for long-lived gravitationa...
