Quelques réflexions sur les rapports entre l’électroacoustique et la musique instrumentale de Xenakis : le cas de la Légende d’Eer et Jonchaies

Dans cet article, nous mettrons en évidence le rapport étroit tissé par Xenakis entre les œuvres La légende d’Eer et Jonchaies notamment au niveau de la structure formelle et des sonorités. // In this paper, we will show some evident examples about the close rapports between La légende d’Eer and Jonchaies by Xenakis, especially in terms of formal structure and sonorities.

Wearable monitoring system for assistance dogs

Despite the recent progresses in robotics, autonomous robots still have too many limitations to reliably help people with disabilities. On the other hand, animals, and especially dogs, have already demonstrated great skills in assisting people in many daily situations. However, dogs also have their own set of limitations. For example, they need to rest periodically, to be healthy (physically and psychologically), and it is difficult to control them remotely. This project aims to “augment” the Assistance dog, by developing a system that compensates some of the dog weaknesses through a robotic device mounted on the dog harness. This specific study, involved in the COCHISE project, focuses on the development of a system for the monitoring of dogs activity and physiological parameters.
