Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the emergence of metamaterials with
unprecedented properties through precisely controlled topologies. To explore metamaterials …

The fusion of different technologies is the base of the fourth industrial revolution. Companies
are encouraged to integrate new tools in their production processes in order to improve …

Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer to perform the functions and reasoning
typical of the human mind. In its purely informatic aspect, it includes the theory and …

In this paper we introduce the first robust control for continuum robots that are modelled by
Cosserat Rod theory. Constituted from deformable elastic backbones, continuum robots are …

The mass production of precise three-dimensional (3D) nanopatterns has long been the
ultimate goal of fabrication technology. While interference lithography and proximity-field …

In this paper, an identification activity and a control application conducted on a Unmanned
Ground Vehicle by using low cost components and open source software are presented …

This paper deals with the development of an open-loop controller implemented in the
Arduino platform in order to reuse an existing CNC machine for performing simple …

Steel structures are widely used all over the world. Steel interprets the most current
synthesis between engineering and architecture, creating constructions that translate into …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), are increasingly being adapted and used in civil contexts,
with particular specialization in the monitoring of the territory for environmental purposes …

In this paper, we analyze the behavior of a single pad system in the presence of dry friction.
The goal is to investigate the path that leads a stable mechanical system to unstable …
