This paper describes the design and modus of operation of a neuromorphic robotic platform based on SpiNNaker, and its implementation on the goalkeeper task. The robotic system utilises an address event representation (AER) type of camera (dynamic vis...
The present paper addresses the problem of the dynamic response of a vibrating equipment for soil compaction. In essence, dynamic response vibrations are analysed by applying an inertial-type perturbing force. This is generated by rotating an eccentr...
The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions has become a need of the day to overcome different environmental issues and challenges. The use of alternative and renewable-based technologies is one of the options to achieve the target of sustainable devel...
In this study, a scaled-down system, which can be used as a benchmark test for the battery storage designing of electric vehicles (EVs) is proposed. This model was based on the hardware simulator of the battery storage system (BSS) used from a single...
Throughout this paper, the model, its parameter estimation and a controller for a solution using a DC motor with a gearbox worm, coupled to a non-rigid joint, will be presented. First, the modeling of a non-linear system based on a DC Motor with Worm...
The objective of this work is the financial optimization of a solar-driven organic Rankine cycle. Parabolic trough solar collectors are used as the most mature solar concentrating system and also there is a sensible storage system. The unit is examin...
Liquid single crystal elastomers (LSCEs) containing carbazole fluorogenic components alter their luminescence when they are stretched along the director direction. The differential luminescent behavior arises from the distinct interaction between the...
This paper presents a general framework to address diverse notoriously difficult problems arising in the area of optimal resource management, exploitation of natural reserves, pension fund valuation, environmental protection, and storage operation. U...
While visual assessment is the standard technique for burn evaluation, computer-aided diagnosis is increasingly sought due to high number of incidences globally. Patients are increasingly facing challenges which are not limited to shortage of experie...
Location-based services are becoming extremely popular due to the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile and portable devices. These services mainly rely on the sincerity of users, who can spoof the location they report to them. For applicati...
A problem for wind turbine operators is decreasing prices for wind-generated electricity. Many turbines are approaching their rated 20-year lives. A more economically viable and sustainable solution that reduces Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and av...
The nonlinear dynamical behaviour of a network that is submitted to disturbances is the starting point of this work, where we consider a low voltage line (the network) with nonlinear varistor filters responding, dynamically, to those disturbances. Ne...
