De metaalbewerkingsindustrie is op zoek naar een automatiseringsoplossing die het mogelijk maakt om op grote schaal en op flexibele wijze zetbewerkingen uit te voeren op klein en middelgroot plaatmateriaal zonder dat daar een zeer grote investering bij komt kijken. Een dergelijke automatiseringsoplossing …

The use of robots as educational tools provide a stimulating environment for students. Some robotics competitions focus on primary and secondary school aged children, and serve as a motivation factor for students to get involved in educational robotics activities. But, in most competitions students are …

A multilayer scheme is here proposed to implement coordinated control of a group of mobile robots. Specifically, a trajectory tracking controller is proposed to coordinately guide a platoon of robots, with an obstacle deviation subsystem based on virtual forces and mechanical impedance implemented in …

This work provides a feasibility study on estimating the 3-D locations of several thousand miniaturized free-floating sensor platforms. The localization is performed on basis of sparse ultrasound range measurements between sensor platforms and without the use of beacons. We show that this task can be …

Recently, the use of military robots – which may be drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted systems, autonomous weapon systems or ‘killer robots’ – has been debated in the media, politics, and academia. Military robots are increasingly automated, which means that they can perform tasks …

This project aims to shorten the time spent on the PLC software development phase when setting up Rohaco transport systems. Developing the PLC software takes a long time and presents an opportunity to be improved. This can be done by automating PLC programming and enabling PLC programmers to start work …

Author provided: Monitoring of computernetworks, complex technical systems like aeroplanes is common practice. In this article the use of a monitoring agent in an arbitrary product is discussed. The product itself could be any product with sucient hardware capabilities. The focus is on the product enhancement …
