In the last decades, there has been an increasing number of human patients who suffer from upper-limb disorders limiting their motor abilities. One of the possible solutions that gained extensive research interest is the development of robot-aided re...
Skid-steer mobile robots (SSMRs) are ubiquitous in indoor and outdoor applications. Their accurate trajectory tracking control is quite challenging due to the uncertainties arising from the complex behavior of frictional force, external disturbances,...
A virtual flight test is the process of flying an aircraft model inside a wind tunnel in a manner that replicates free-flight. In this paper, a 3-DOF aircraft-manipulator system is proposed that can be used for longitudinal dynamics virtual flight te...
Path planning is an intertemporal problem in the robotics industry. Over the years, several algorithms have been proposed to solve it, but weaknesses are constantly identified by researchers, especially in creating an optimal path in a three-dimensio...
Current disinfection robots either have a bulky design or cannot operate in multiple configurations, therefore being unable to disinfect the hard-to-reach areas, which leads to low efficiency of the disinfection process. A solution for this problem w...
In this paper, we analyze stiffness and perform geometrical optimization of a parallel–serial manipulator with five degrees of freedom (5-DOF). The manipulator includes a 3-DOF redundantly actuated planar parallel mechanism, whose stiffness det...
Moulds for aeronautical applications must fulfil highly demanding requirements, including the geometrical tolerances before and after curing cycles at high temperatures and pressures. The growing availability of thermoplastic materials printed by mat...
Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments presents a significant challenge for mobile robotic systems. This paper proposes a novel approach utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for multi-object detection in 3D space and 2D segmentation...
The five-bar linkage, used in the form of a planar manipulator, benefits from easy controllability and relatively simple kinematic structures, which mean that it can be used in several applications in robotics, rehabilitation, and haptic devices, etc...
One of the most challenging aspects of designing a humanoid robot is ensuring stable walking. To achieve this, the kinematic architecture must support 3D motion and maintain equilibrium, particularly during single-foot support. Without proper configu...
