Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) offer significant potential to address the evolving demands of industrial development. In the Industry 4.0 era, a framework integrating sensing, data exchange, numerical analysis, and real-time feedback is essential for...

Board games like chess serve as an excellent testbed for human–robot interactions, where advancements can lead to broader human–robot cooperation systems. This paper presents a chess-playing robotic system to demonstrate controlled pick a...

In today’s technologically advanced landscape, sensors feed critical data for accurate decision-making and actions. Ensuring the integrity and reliability of sensor data is paramount to system performance and security. This paper introduces an...

The key technologies for advanced autonomous vehicles include those relating to perception, decision making, and execution. Path-tracking control in autonomous vehicles is heavily dependent on their positioning system. Therefore, the development of l...

Rotor bar breakage in induction motors is often detected by analysing the signatures in the stator current. However, due to the alteration of the current spectrum, traditional methods may fail when inverter-fed motors operate with closed-loop control...

This project aims to develop a recommendation system to mitigate looping issues in HDD slider testing using the Amber testing machine (Machine A). Components simulating the HDD often fail and require repair before re-testing. However, post-repair, th...

Hydrogen permeation resistance in the welded region of 06Cr18Ni11Ti steel is relatively weak due to surface defects, which need high integrity surface machining. The parameters of the welding material for 06Cr18Ni11Ti steel are currently unavailable,...

This paper proposes an optimal path type classification scheme for the three-point Dubins problem. It allows us to directly extract the shortest path type from a Dubins set, evaluating only the relative initial and final configurations with the via p...

Kinematics is a hot topic in robotic research, serving as a foundational step in the synthesis and analysis of robots. Forward kinematics and inverse kinematics are the prerequisite and foundation for motion control, trajectory planning, dynamic simu...

During the axial modification in helical gear form grinding, the contact line between the grinding wheel and the gear constantly changes, and the additional radial motion can cause a “tooth surface twist” phenomenon. An optimization metho...
