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, 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 …

In this paper, a closed-chain multibody model of a pantograph/catenary system is developed
and used for the optimal design of a nonlinear controller based on an open-loop control …

This paper deals with the dynamic simulation of rigid multibody systems described with the
use of two-dimensional natural absolute coordinates. The computational methodology …

The goal of this investigation is to perform a comparative analysis of the principal
methodologies employed for the analytical formulation and the numerical solution of the …

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental investigation on squeal noise
emitted by a disc brake for railway applications. The measurement, that show in an evident …
