Audenaert, L.E.G. (author), Van Bremen, L. (author), Hulsinga, D.S. (author)This document describes the design and modification of a Universal Jamming Gripper. On the existing idea is expanded in such a way that it can be used in a low power environment. For the gripper a capacitive sensor is proposed to measure the deformation of the flexible part. This measurement can be used to aid in centring an object in the...bachelor thesis 2015

Hernández, J.M. (author), Doerr, C. (author), Lessmann, J. (author), Schöller, M. (author)To protect active traffic against link or node failures in multi-hop communications networks, several so-called protection schemes have been introduced in the past. The most established ones are path, segment, node and link protection. However, these schemes are limited as challenges are modelled abstractly whereas challenges in real networks...conference paper 2012
