A rule-based methodology for automated progress monitoring of construction activities: A case for masonry work
(International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2019)
The conventional approach that is used to monitor construction projects is to collect progress data from the construction site through visual investigation. This results in deficient and sometimes erroneous data, and leads ...
Flux melting of metal–organic frameworks
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-28)
Recent demonstrations of melting in the metal-organic framework (MOF) family have created interest in the interfacial domain between inorganic glasses and amorphous organic polymers. The chemical and physical behaviour of ...
Application of a disturbance observer based controller to improve vehicle ride
(Canadian Acoustical Association, 2019)
In this paper the application of a disturbance observer based control algorithm is proposed to improve the vehicle ride performance of a vehicle that has magnetorheological damper (MR Damper) suspension. The vehicle is ...
High power series elastic actuator development for torque-controlled exoskeletons
(Springer Nature, 2019)
This paper presents the development procedures of a high power series elastic actuator that can be used in torque-controlled exoskeleton applications as a high-fidelity torque source. In order to provide a high torque ...
Learning to exploit passive compliance for energy-efficient gait generation on a compliant humanoid
(Springer Nature, 2019-01)
Modern humanoid robots include not only active compliance but also passive compliance. Apart from improved safety and dependability, availability of passive elements, such as springs, opens up new possibilities for improving ...
Stable control of force, position, and stiffness for robot joints powered via pneumatic muscles
(IEEE, 2019-12)
This paper proposes a novel controller framework for antagonistically driven pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuators. The proposed controller can be stably configured in both torque-stiffness control and position-stiffness ...
An experimental study of a bluetooth communication system for robot motion control
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper presents a method that aims to reduce the complex cabling problem in robotics applications, so as to prevent difficulties in troubleshooting processes and failures in case of cable breaks. Examples in the ...
3D neuromorphic wireless power transfer and energy transmission based synaptic plasticity
(IEEE, 2019)
Energy consumption combined with scalability and 3D architecture is a fundamental constraint for brain-inspired computing. Neuromorphic architectures including memristive, spintronic, and floating gate metal-oxide-semiconductors ...
Price and quality decisions of a service provider under heterogeneous demand
(Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, 2019)
A monopolist service provider's quality and price decisions are analyzed in a vertically differentiated market where customers demand different quantities of a service. We find that depending on the relative sizes of the ...
A long-term strategy for energy and cost performance improvement of existing residential buildings: Step-by-step renovation in Turkey
(2019)
Recast version of Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD-Recast) obligate member states to keep the cost analysis in parallel with the energy analysis during the renovation actions for the existing building by ...
