Finite-state approximations to discounted and average cost constrained Markov decision processes
(IEEE, 2019-07)
In this paper, we consider the finite-state approximation of a discrete-time constrained Markov decision process (MDP) under the discounted and average cost criteria. Using the linear programming formulation of the constrained ...
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 ...
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 ...
On the mechanical behavior of accumulative roll bonded lightweight composite
(IOP Publishing, 2019-09)
Multi-layered composites have received great interest due to their enhanced mechanical and physical properties. In this study, Al6061/Al2024 composites were processed by accumulative roll bonding as a severe plastic ...
Stress among ab-initio pilots: A model of contributing factors by AHP
(Elsevier, 2019-09)
Human error in the cockpit triggers a chain of incidences, which might lead in aviation to fatal consequences. Indeed, it is the highest contributor to aviation accidents, where stress is correlated positively. Despite the ...
Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the aec industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01)
Although a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on 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 ...
Efficient resource allocation scheme for multi-user hybrid VLC/IR networks
(IEEE, 2019)
An optimal fair resource allocation (OFRA) scheme is proposed to mitigate both inter-symbol and inter-user interferences in uplink multi-user VLC/IR networks. The scheme aims to improve the fairness among the users in terms ...
