The dynamics of a two-wheeled vehicle represent a higher level of complexity, with a high variety of rider practices, peculiarly during the bend-taking maneuver. This complexity is one reason why research on motorcyclists' practiced trajectories is limited compared to cars. Another reason is the low representation of motorcycles in the land motor vehicle fleet.

The indoor Visual Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (V-SLAM) dataset with various acquisition modalities has been created to evaluate the impact of acquisition modalities on the Visual SLAM algorithm's accuracy. The dataset contains different sequences acquired with different modalities, including RGB, IR, and depth images in passive stereo and active stereo modes. Each sequence is associated with a reference trajectory constructed with an Structure From Motion (SFM) and Multi View Stereo (MVS) library for comparison.

Emerging technologies in the context of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) have drastically evolved the industry's qualification requirements. AVs incorporate complex perception and control systems. Teaching the associated skills that are necessary for the analysis of such systems becomes a very difficult process and existing solutions do not facilitate learning.

Rational drug design is an approach based on detailed knowledge of molecular interactions and dynamic of bio-molecules. This approach involves designing new digital and interactive tools including classical desktop interaction devices as well as advanced ones such as haptic arms or virtual reality devices. These approaches however struggle to deal with flexibility of bio-molecules by simultaneously steering the numerous degrees of freedom.

Motorcycle drivers are considered among the most vulnerable road users, as attested by the number of crashes increasing every year. The significant part of the fatalities relates to "single vehicle" loss of control in bends. During this investigation, a system based on an instrumented multi-sensor platform and an algorithmic study was developed to accurately reconstruct motorcycle trajectories achieved when negotiating bends.

Electronic monitoring devices are increasingly used in healthcare to monitor health behaviors on a day-to-day basis. As a prerequisite to their application in clinical studies or daily practice, the performance of those electronic monitoring devices should be tested. Such testing includes a demonstration of technically correct function and of correspondence between the recorded data and the actual patient behavior, that is, objective testing of reliability and validity.

The aim of this study was to test the user performance, satisfaction and acceptability of the Helping Hand™ (B&O Medicom) electronic medication adherence monitor. Using a mixed-method design, we studied 11 kidney transplant patients and 10 healthy volunteers during three weeks. Although testing showed positive usability aspects, several areas requiring technical improvement were identified: the most important obstacles to usability and acceptability were the weak sound signal, problems loading the medication, and the fact that only one medication could be used at a time.
