We report on the application of a 5-MW variable voltage source (VVS) amplifier converter for
utilization in power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) experiments with megawatt-scale motor …

One of the industrial applications of computer vision is the automated detection and
characterisation of surface defects. Some types of surface, such as those that are highly …

This contribution presents a machine vision system capable of revealing, detecting and
characterizing defects on non-plane transparent surfaces. Because in this kind of surface …

Model-driven engineering (MDE) is proposed as the next revolution in embedded-system
development. It is a promising paradigm that provides the developer the abstraction level …

This paper addresses the problem of grasped object weight compensation in the one-
handed manipulation of impedance controlled robots. In an exemplary identification …

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are distributed self-organizing networks that can
change locations and configure themselves on the fly. This paper focuses on an algorithmic …

Tracking human motion with multiple body sensors has the potential to promote a large
number of applications such as detecting patient motion, and monitoring for home-based …

This paper describes the current development status of a mobile robot designed to inspect
the outer surface of large oil ship hulls and floating production storage and offloading …

Flexible manipulator robots have a wide industrial application. Robot performance requires
sensing its position and orientation adequately, known as forward kinematics. Commercially …

Linear drives (LDs) are designed to meet industrial applications like factory automation,
material testing, packaging, pumping, and stamping. Because of the complexity of LDs, it is …
