Development of a functional low cost myoelectric upper limb 3D printed prosthesis
Background: Last decades myoelectric prostheses have become more usable, functional and reliable. Yet, the cost of myoelectric upper limb prostheses are still a hindering factor of widespread usage of the prostheses. In developing countries, where the demand for prostheses is rel

A new concept fiber positioner
Exploring the posibilities of an alternative r-theta design
Large multi-object spectroscopy telescopes measure the light from millions of stars and galaxies for the use in astronomical studies. One part of these telescopes is the fiber positioner, where a few thousand of optical fibers need to be individually positioned very accurately. The
