Cost estimation of micro-hydropower equipment in Nepal (2022)
Journal Article

Selecting the appropriate technology for providing electricity to rural communities depends upon evaluating the cost of a potential installation. For some rural communities, locally manufactured technology, in the form of wind and hydropower, can be... Read More about Cost estimation of micro-hydropower equipment in Nepal.

E2EK: End-to-end regression network based on keypoint for 6d pose estimation (2022)
Journal Article

The methods based on deep learning are the mainstream of 6D object pose estimation, which mainly include direct regression and two-stage pipelines. The former are keen by many scholars at first due to their simplicity and differentiability to poses,... Read More about E2EK: End-to-end regression network based on keypoint for 6d pose estimation.

Multifingered robot hand compliant manipulation based on vision-based demonstration and adaptive force control (2022)
Journal Article

Multifingered hand dexterous manipulation is quite challenging in the domain of robotics. One remaining issue is how to achieve compliant behaviors. In this work, we propose a human-in-the-loop learning-control approach for acquiring compliant graspi...

A machine learning model for predicting sit-to-stand trajectories of people with and without stroke: towards adaptive robotic assistance (2022)
Journal Article

Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers are fundamental daily motions that enable all other types of ambulation and gait. However, the ability to perform these motions can be severely impaired by different factors, such as the occurrence of a stroke,...

The AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton: Mechatronic integration and biomechanical assessment (2022)
Journal Article

People who suffer from stroke have a higher difficulty performing gait activity, affecting their quality of life. New technologies have been developed to assist and rehabilitate the affected limbs. This paper presents the AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-li... Read More about The AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton: Mechatronic integration and biomechanical assessment.

SpaceWire communications in power over Ethernet environment (2022)
Journal Article

This is a high-level study into the validation of a unified electric power and communications architecture for modern spacecraft systems. We leverage from blending the European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS) SpaceWire and the IEEE 802.3... Read More about SpaceWire communications in power over Ethernet environment.

Rapid prediction of fibre-dominant tensile failure in randomly oriented strands (2022)
Journal Article

A stochastic morphological modelling framework has been established to predict the tensile behaviour of Randomly Oriented Strands made of ultra-thin Carbon Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic prepreg tapes. The tape properties from their distributions are... Read More about Rapid prediction of fibre-dominant tensile failure in randomly oriented strands.

Performance analysis of a nonlinear inerter-based vibration isolator with inerter embedded in a linkage mechanism (2022)
Journal Article

This study presents an inerter-based nonlinear vibration isolator with geometrical nonlinearity created by configuring an inerter in a diamond-shaped linkage mechanism. The isolation performance of the proposed nonlinear isolator subjected to force o...

On determinism of game engines used for simulation-based autonomous vehicle verification (2022)
Journal Article

Game engines are increasingly used as simulation platforms by the autonomous vehicle community to develop vehicle control systems and test environments. A key requirement for simulation-based development and verification is determinism, since a deter...
