This paper presents a matrix-based approach for motion planning of autonomous vehicles in structured parking environments under Temporal Logic (TL) constraints. Instead of relying solely on traditional automaton models, we construct a product automat...

Although parallel mechanisms are used in various fields, their application is often limited by singularities and a restricted workspace. Kinematic redundancy is a promising approach for mitigating these issues while also extending the functionality o...

Due to the fact that earthquakes cannot be predicted, earthquake simulation is of great importance. An earthquake simulator is a device that reproduces the seismic waves generated by an earthquake. The aim of this work is to present the design and pr...

Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) has emerged as a promising approach to improve motor recovery for stroke survivors. Among RAGT devices, exoskeletons offer precise joint actuation, but they are costly, mechanically complex and present risks relate...

Numerical simulations of protein folding enable the design of protein-based nanomachines and nanorobots by predicting folded three-dimensional protein structures with high accuracy and revealing the protein conformation transitions during folding and...

In this paper, we considered potential benefits of the neuromorphic control technique for solving specific challenges in robotic control. Developing a neuromorphic control system for a robot involves simulating the architecture and dynamics of biolog...

This paper proposes a two-layer adaptive proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller for precise pose control of a six-degree-of-freedom cable-driven parallel robot with eight cables, specifically designed to handle dynamic changes...

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are increasingly used for load manipulation tasks involving predefined toolpaths with intermediate stops. At each stop, where the platform maintains a fixed pose, and the motors keep the cables under tension, the...

The work presented in this document integrates blockchain, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) to improve collection, storage and accessibility of aerial imagery transfer, when these technologies are applied to olive...

Structural heart interventions require precise navigation through tortuous and dynamic cardiac anatomies. However, current guide sheaths often lack sufficient maneuverability for positioning additional catheters. To address these limitations, this pa...
