A Hybrid Control Approach for the Swing Free Transportation of a Double Pendulum with a Quadrotor
(MDPI, 2021-06-13)
In this article, a control strategy approach is proposed for a system consisting of a quadrotor transporting a double pendulum. In our case, we attempt to achieve a swing free transportation of the pendulum, while the ...
Temperature based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic modules
(Nature, 2020-07-27)
In this article authors propose a temperature based Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm (MPPT). Authors show that there is an optimal current vs maximum power curve that depends on photovoltaic (PV) module temperature. ...
Hybrid Modeling of Deformable Linear Objects for Their Cooperative Transportation by Teams of Quadrotors
(MDPI, 2022-05-23)
his paper deals with the control of a team of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), specifically quadrotors, for which their mission is the transportation of a deformable linear object (DLO), i.e., a cable, hose or similar object ...
A low-cost vision system for online reciprocal collision avoidance with UAVs
(Elsevier, 2024-05-10)
In this article, we propose a reciprocal collision avoidance system for autonomous drones, based on computer vision and using relative positioning in an indoor environment. This dynamic environment represents a demanding ...
Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control by Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient in Neurosurgical Practice
(MDPI, 2023-09-30)
This research continues the previous work “Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control in Neurosurgical Practice”. In that study, authors acquired an optimal control arm speed shape for neurological surgery which minimized ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
Analysis of displacement path dependence in mixed mode cohesive law
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In the present work, a general theoretical analysis is presented and novel mathematical expressions are derived to obtain the cohesive law of adhesive joints under mixed-mode loading.
It is theoretically stated that the ...
