Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNondestructive Test Using a 3D Computer Vision System for Damage Detection of StructuresTaylor M.V. Szeto, Sun YiStructures that do not have a definitive map nor a clearly known state of health may exist underground, beyond our reach and in unsuitable environments. Nuclear facilities contain underground tunnels that exhaust hazardous gases. Industry has miles of sewage lines beneath it that emit flammable and toxic gases. Regular inspection and maintenance is an essential part of failure prevention, however, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2018 · 8,257 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Novel Modeling Approach for Collision Avoidance in Robotic SurgeryReza Ramezanifard, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe present a new system that can be used in combination with an array of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors and has application in surgical navigation procedures. Using the proposed assembly, the maneuverability of the surgical tools can be enhanced and the incidence of potentially damaging contact with non-target tissue can be reduced. The emphasis of our work was based on controlling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,795 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdaptive Control of Robotic Manipulators with Improvement of the Transient Behavior Through an Intelligent Supervision of the Free-Design Parameters and the Sampling PeriodM. De La Sen, A. Almansa, J.C. SotoAn adaptive control scheme for mechanical manipulators proposed. The control loop consists of a network for learning the robot's inverse dynamics and on-line generating the control signal. Some simulation results were provided to evaluate the design. A supervisor was used to improve the performances of the system during the adaptation transients. The supervisor exerts two supervisory actions. The first one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,881 accessesView PDF Cite
