Very proud of my thesis student Maties Claesen, who has been nominated for the EOS thesis award! His work, “ZeroTraining: Extending Zero-Gravity Objects Simulation in Virtual Reality Using Robotics,” combines virtual reality and robotics to simulate weightless objects more realistically – crucial for astronaut training and space exploration. Maties demonstrated some impressive creative problem-solving skills, especially in combining diverse fields to tackle complex challenges with limited hardware resources.

Special thanks to Andreas Treuer, Martial Costantini, and Lionel Ferra at ESA for their support, valuable insights and feedback on this work. Andreas was particularly instrumental for this work by sharing his experiences and providing feedback throughout the project which was crucial in refining both the scope as well as the implementation of this work.

Senne Bergmans made an extensive comparison of Threads, Fibers anc Coroutines for developing concurrent software as part of his Bachelor thesis, and made his comparison and code available for everyone to use. If you start creating concurrent software and aren’t sure what is the best solution for your specific context, these resources can help:

• A Comparison between Threads, Fibers and Coroutines for Developing Concurrent Software in Blog Posts;
• Senne also released both his sample code and code used for the comparisons through his github page.

Contact Senne for more information.
