The paper discusses the construction of the world's first full-scale prototype of an adaptive shell structure. The 10m × 10m double-curved structure, consisting of a multi-layer wood laminate, has three freely positionable supports. High-speed, real-time positioning of the supports allows for the manipulation of stress fields within the shell as well as of vibrations and deformations of the structure. The paper focuses on the potentials of adaptivity for shell structures and the construction process of the prototype.

As Biologically-Inspired design is receiving more and more attention, methodologies and tools are developed to support the systematic bio-ideation process. However, few experiments have been conducted that objectively measure the impact of bio-ideation methods or tools on the design outcomes of creativity efforts. This paper investigates the impact of two biological stimuli conditions – using short natural-language descriptions accompanied by a photograph of the involved biological system (1) or accompanied by a graphical illustration of the biological solution principle (2) – on the variety of the generated idea set. Hereto, biological strategies from one relevant functional class of AskNature's Biomimicry Taxonomy are used as stimuli and their impact is quantified. Participants, 59 students divided into three groups, are all submitted to the no tool condition for a first design challenge from which the intended balancing effect of random group assignment is verified. During the second and third challenge, one group remains a control group and two groups receive one of the AskNature stimuli variants. The results show variable success for increasing variety – ranging from status quo to a 108.2% increase in variety at the physical principle level – indicating that using a functional category from AskNature has the potential to support conceiving more dissimilar idea set on the most abstract levels of the genealogy tree. However such performance is not guaranteed for each challenge.
Visual Odometry (VO) can be categorized as being either direct or feature based. When the system is calibrated photometrically, and images are captured at high rates, direct methods have shown to outperform feature-ba...

The goal of science is the new knowledge mining and data processing. There are some fields of activity in which there is impossible for man to be presented (for example, in space and world ocean). The autonomous researching devices are needed for knowledge acquisition in these fields of activity. The architecture of the on-board control system for the autonomous device was designed. The control system was designed with realization on the module principles, used algorithm and intelligent modules.
