Continuous flight auger piles (CFAPs) are highly versatile and productive deep foundation elements. Known for their execution speed, low noise, and minimal vibration, they are extensively used in Brazil, particularly for urban projects or environment...

Corrosion, a naturally occurring process leading to the deterioration of metallic materials, demands diligent detection for quality control and the preservation of metal-based objects, especially within industrial contexts. Traditional techniques for...

Concrete-printing robots have become an advanced technology in the construction industry that allows the creation of complex structures, while saving materials and shortening construction time compared to traditional methods. With the structure of a...

The integration of 3D printing technologies in automated manufacturing systems marks a significant progression in the manufacturing industry, enabling elevated degrees of customization, efficiency, and sustainability. This paper explores the synergy...

Static Timing Analysis (STA) plays a crucial role in realizing timing convergence of integrated circuits. In recent years, there has been growing research on pre-routing timing prediction using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). However, existing approach...

The energy consumption of rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles has become an important factor restricting their long-term application. This article focuses on decoupling the motion channel and reducing control energy consumption, and proposes a decou...

Given the growing need to enhance the accuracy of exploration robots, this study focuses on designing a teleoperated navigation system for a robot equipped with a continuous-track traction system. The goal was to improve navigation performance by dev...

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) have emerged as key enablers of autonomous maritime operations, offering innovative solutions across multiple industries, including defense, oceanography, offshore energy, and logistics. This review examines the curre...

This paper compares the performance of Deep Learning (DL) and multi-template matching (MTM) models for detecting small defects. DL models extract distinguishing features of objects but require a large dataset of images. In contrast, alternative compu...

A suspended cable-driven parallel robot is a type of lightweight large-span parallel robot. The stability and control of this multi-input multi-output robot are studied in this work to overcome its inherited vulnerability to disturbance. An adaptive...
