This paper presents a model predictive approach to the energy-aware control of tasks’ execution in an assembly line. The proposed algorithm takes into account both the need for optimizing the assembly line operations (in terms of the minimizati...
The present study analyzed a computational model to evaluate the electromechanical properties of the AlN, BaTiO3, ZnO, PVDF, and KNN-NTK thin-films. With the rise in sustainable energy options for health monitoring devices and smart wearable sensors,...
Soft pneumatic actuators offer great advantages compared to rigid ones, particularly due to their compliant nature, which allows them to adapt to uncertainties in the environment. As such, they enable human-safe interactions and are often applied to...
In this overview of recent developments in the field of biorobotics we cover the developments in materials such as the use of polyester fabric being used as artificial skin and the start of whole new ways to actuate artificial muscles as a whole. In...
Model order reduction techniques can be used during the operation phase of a product to generate virtual sensor outputs and enable diagnosis and monitoring systems. This contribution shows an approach with the example of an active magnetic bearing. T...
Many patients with upper limb defects desire myoelectric prosthetic hands, but they are still not used for some reasons. One of the most significant reasons is its external appearance, which has the discomfort caused by the structural difference betw...
An exosuit is a wearable robot that assists the muscular strength of a human that wears it by using multiple wires with similar functions to human muscles. This study focuses on the development of a series elastic tendon actuator (SETA) for the actua...
The traditional magnetorheological (MR) damper subject to the limited space has shortcomings such as small damping force, narrow dynamic range and low adaptability. In this study, a new MR damper with folded resistance gaps and bending magnetic circu...
In this paper, an opposing jet is applied to the space shuttle arc leading edge and the lifting body cone leading edge in the hypersonic condition of the rarefied flow field. The DSMC numerical algorithm is used to simulate and analyze the underlying...
Repairing cracks in the concrete of a building is very important to ensure the safety of a nuclear power plant. However, repair work in areas with very strong radiation is very difficult. Many robots have been proposed to solve this problem. However,...
