Energy saving in robotic and mechatronic systems is becoming an evermore important topic
in both industry and academia. One strategy to reduce the energy consumption, especially …

Nowadays one of the key aspects in the study and design of industrial robots is the energy
efficiency. These robots are not only expected to perform the task accurately and rapidly but …

Robotic tasks often exceed the scope of steady-state or periodic behavior, which
necessitates generally-applicable models of actuators intended to generate transient or …

Industrial robots performing pick and place operations account for a major part of the energy
consumption in packaging and assembling industry. Because of increasing energy prices …

Bridge inspections are essential for maintaining key infrastructure and preventing structural
and functional failures. Nevertheless, traditional manual inspection techniques are plagued …

The paper discusses the exploitation of the natural motion of a SCARA-like manipulator to
reduce energy consumption in pick-and-place tasks. The considered architecture is derived …

A major field of industrial robot applications deals with repetitive tasks that alternate between
operating points. For these so-called pick-and-place operations, parallel kinematic …

The increase in the number of industrial robots and the requirements for sustainable
production have drawn attention to the study of energy consumption. The present research …

Balance stability and power consumption are both key concerns for mobile robots. This
dissertation introduces optimization with stability, contact, and work phase transitions to …

The increasing energy consumption within the industrial sector causes great concerns
among numerous countries. Accordingly, an extensive reorientation towards an energy …
