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...
