Abstract: Although teleoperation applications are mainly associated with robots operating in remote, far-off sites, a large number of tasks in the industrial field requires teleoperation because of their potential danger, such as management of toxic...
Abstract: Robotic treatment has been recognized as a powerful tool to face the consequences of neurological impairments such as stroke. Among several potential benefits, the possibility to program high-intensity and repetitive movements increased the...
This letter presents a new method to detect materials with known spectral emissivity in data acquired by long-wave infrared hyperspectral sensors. The proposed approach differs from existing methods because it takes into account the uncertainty of the...
Abstract: The ageing population has become an increasing phenomenon world-wide, leading to a growing need for specialised help. Improving the quality of life of older people can lower the risk of depression and social isolation, but it requires a...
Abstract: One of the open challenges in Human-Robot collaborative tasks is to provide a simple way for humans to understand robotic systems' plans and actions and to interact with them in the most natural way. Towards the direction of a natural...
Abstract: The deployment of industrial robotic cells based on lean manufacturing principles enables the development of fast-reconfigurable assembly lines in which human and robotic agents collaborate to achieve a shared task. To ensure the effective...
Abstract - The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture Advanced eXtensible Interface is a memory mapped protocol intended for internal System on Chip communications. However, there is no mean to directly exchange data between AXI devices and LabVIEW...
Abstract — PXI FPGA Peripheral Modules by National Instruments are meant to be used in LabVIEW even without any previous knowledge of Hardware Description Languages (HDL) and let users to hardware-accelerate their own test and measurement setups....
This paper introduces a comprehensive test equipment for early adopters of the new ECSS satellite on-board serial high-speed communication protocol, SpaceFibre, maintaining also retro-compatibility with its precursor, SpaceWire. The presented system is...
Spacecraft used in space mission have on-board a large number of peripherals such as instruments, mass-memory, downlink telemetry, sensors, actuators and processors. The State-Of-The-Art for the on-board spacecraft communication is the SpaceWire...
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) uses 215 beam position monitors (BPMs) to observe the beam orbit when accelerating protons or ions on a fast ramp cycle to beam energies of up to 450 GeV/c. In the frame of the CERN LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU)...
Abstract Technology improvements and cost reduction allow electrochemical energy storage systems based on Lithium-ion cells to massively be used in medium-power applications, where the low system cost is the major constraint. Battery pack maintenance...
A multi-transmitter configuration made by an array of passive resonant elements placed in the proximity of the driver coil for inductive Wireless Power Transfer applications is presented. The array is able to significantly decrease the electric field...
Indoor localisation is currently regarded as one of the most useful services offered to human beings and robotics agents, as it can support a variety of applications. Among all the possible sensing solutions developed to address this problem (which is...
Distributed ledgers allow us to replicate databases of records across mutually untrusted parties. The best known example of distributed ledger is perhaps the Bitcoin blockchain, which maintains a consistent history of financial transactions organized...
Urban population is expected to continuously grow in size. The smart city concepts allows to handle the new challenges and issues created by this growth by applying a wide range of technologies that can provide citizens with a better living...
This paper presents an original low-voltage CMOS, bipolar transistor free, sub-threshold voltage reference capable of operating with sub-1V supply voltages. Novel aspects of the proposed solution are (i) use of a bandgap core with a single MOSFET to...
A compact anemometer, capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the wind in a plane, is presented. The device constitutes an evolution of a class of sensors that exploit a recently proposed original approach, involving fluidic processing of...
