As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, robots are becoming an increasingly common sight in our daily lives. <br/>Robots that work with humans need to adapt to a variety of users and tasks, and learn to optimise their behaviour. For non-specialist users to interact with such robots, the robot's learning process needs to be transparent...

Prediction of heat transfer phenomena and resulting temperature distributions is crucial among many appliances in the industry sector. In a vacuum, the dominant mode of heat transfer is conduction. The resulting temperature drop at the body’s interface is dependent on a parameter known as Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) or, alternatively,...

In current literature, the addition of environmental cost such as fuel consumption or emission is already prevalent. However, the studies aim to improve the behavior of the vehicle while little attention is paid to the holistic view of a city and over-polluted arcs. In an attempt to address this gap, this research aims to develop policies...

Background: For rigorous software testing, integration and end-to-end tests are essential to ensure the expected behavior of multiple interacting components of the system. When software is subjected to integration or end-to-end tests, it is often unfeasible to test every code change individually, as the runtime of these tests is usually...

In recent years, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have been emitted on a large scale, leading to global warming, rising of sea levels, and causing many ecological problems. The use of fossil fuels is the chief source of large-scale emissions of CO2, but the reliability and economy of fossil fuels make it difficult for other energy...

Inherent limitations of linear control, including PID, are Bode's phase-gain relationship and the waterbed-effect. Literature showed that reset control can overcome these limitations. The 'Constant in Gain, Lead in Phase' (CgLp) reset element was developed, which can be used in combination with a conventional PID approach. The benefit is that...

A water electrolyzer is an electrochemical device that produces hydrogen and oxygen from water via electricity. A sustainable way of producing hydrogen with renewable electricity, also known as green hydrogen, could enable its use in decarbonisation of sectors that depend on fossil fuels. However, to scale up the production of green hydrogen,...

Due to global warming, there is a rising demand for green energy storage and green fuels. $CO_2$ reduction can help mitigate these demands by storing energy in chemical bonds, thereby creating fuels that are relatively easy to use and store. In this way, a new carbon cycle can be created. Catalyst materials play a key role in improving the...

Origami-based mechanisms have emerged as a promising solution for developing locomotion systems. Its light-weight nature, scalability, and possibility for 2D monolithic manufacturing makes origami an attractive option for various applications, such as mobile robots and meta-surfaces. While various types of origami-based locomotion exist,...

Over the years the introduction of new Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software into the design process allowed engineers to significantly shorten the time necessary to produce finished designs. There seems to be an agreement that using CAE tools shortens the time of the design process and improves the quality of finished products. Although,...

Background<br/>The availability of medical ultrasound imaging is still limited in low- and middle-income countries, despite its potential impact on patient outcomes. This problem partially manifests in the limited availability of trained physicians due to the unequal distribution of physicians between rural and urban areas in India. Robotic...

Current membrane fabrication processes are not sustainable as they are energy-intensive and require hazardous solvents. Additive manufacturing, due to its low waste production and the absence of harmful chemicals, can provide a more sustainable membrane manufacturing process. Up to this point, there was no way to 3D-print a membrane that meets...

Silicon based power semiconductors have long been used as the standard in ‘semiconductor technology in power conversion applications’. Recent developments replaces the Silicon with Silicon Carbide as it results in superior performance of the power conversion applications. However, due to the increased performance, challenges...

A baseball pitch is an explosive and dynamic motion during which one of the highest angular rates achieved by the human body in sports activity was noted. The nature of the baseball pitch puts shoulder structures at risk, and one of the most common injuries among pitchers is a rotator cuff tear, frequently connected with internal impingement. It...

Air transport has gone from a once in a lifetime experience for the extremely rich to a day to day method of transportation for everybody. With the increase in passenger movements the amount of baggage that goes through airports has increased as well. This could cause problems for airports if they have a limited capacity in one of the parts of...

In recent years, shared mobility systems have had a growing presence in cities all over the world. This is understandable given its numerous advantages such as the reduced need for personal vehicle ownership, reduced traffic congestion and emissions, increased parking efficiency, and cost savings for users. Overall, shared mobility systems offer...

Traditional kinematic joints used in large scale machinery consist of multiple rigid parts in contact, which causes wear and imposes the need for lubrication and maintenance. Compliant joints have the potential to eliminate these problems as they require less maintenance. However, these joints are not studied for large scale applications with...

This research presents a measurement method for a compliant gripper finger, whereby the location of the contact with an object and the exerted grasp force are measured indirectly, instead of directly on the contacting surface. For this purpose, the deformation is measured using strain gauges at two locations on the inside structure of the finger...

<b>Background:</b> Low bone quality associated with osteoporosis is an increasing health issue. The reduction in bone quality increases the risk of bone fractures and implant failure in osteosynthesis. Implant failure can be avoided by adapting the surgical procedure and postoperative care to the bone quality. This requires knowledge of the...
