A properly designed product-system platform seeks to reduce the cost and lead time for
design and development of the product-system family. A key goal is to achieve a tradeoff …

Substituting the natural bladder with an artificial solution, after cancer and other pathologies,
is an ambitious challenge in biomedical engineering. In this work we propose a fully …

Magnetic sensors are mandatory in a broad range of applications nowadays, being the
increasing interest on such sensors mainly driven by the growing demand of materials …

Contrasted with common obstacle avoidance mode based on single sensor or solo
algorithm, this article put forward an intelligent pattern based on Combination from CNN …

Due to their efficient locomotion and natural tolerance to hazardous environments, spherical
robots have wide applications in security surveillance, exploration of unknown territory and …

Spherical detector (SD) is a novel and promising magnetic shielding-based approach for
long subsea pipeline orientation and localization with low risk of blockage. As not all the …

We propose a novel performance metric for articulated robots with distributed directional
sensors called the sensor observability analysis (SOA). These robot-mounted distributed …

This thesis proposes a solution to the problem of modeling and optimizing the field sensor
network in terms of the coverage performance. The term field sensor is referred to a class of …

In this paper, we propose a preliminary definition and analysis of the novel concept of
sensor observability index. The goal is to analyse and evaluate the performance of …

A properly designed product-system platform can reduce the cost and lead-time to design
and develop a product family and thus achieve the tradeoff between economy of scope from …
