Multi-contact Walking Pattern Generation based on Model Preview Control of 3D COM Accelerations [PDF]
We present a multi-contact walking pattern generator based on preview-control of the 3D acceleration of the center of mass (COM). A key point in the design of our algorithm is the calculation of contact-stability constraints.

Raman spectra of BN-nanotubes: Ab-initio and bond-polarizability model calculations [PDF]
We present it ab-initio calculations of the non-resonant Raman spectra of zigzag and armchair BN nanotubes. In comparison, we implement a generalized bond-polarizability model where the parameters are extracted from first-principles calculations of the ...
