For thousands of years engineers have dreamed of building machines with vision capabilities that match their own. However most image processing algorithms are computationally intensive making real-time implementation di cult, expensive and not usually possible with microprocessor based hardware. In this project a computationally intensive image-processing algorithm is implemented, analysed, and...

Current trends such as shorter product lifecycles, reduced time-to-market and mass-customization require new paradigms and approaches for production lines and machines. In the long term, production and manufacturing companies will only be able to survive in the face of increasing globalisation if they can react flexibly and quickly to changing customer and market demands. New paradigms and appr...

The moment arm (MA) of the knee extensor mechanism has been reported by a number of researchers, although it has been defined and measured differently in these studies. The aims of this study were: (1) to quantify the MA of the knee-extensor mechanism, which is represented by the MA of the patellar tendon at the knee; and (2) to show that the MA of the patellar tendon is related to the size of ...

In this paper we evaluate and improve different vector implementation techniques of AES-based designs. We analyze how well the T-table, bitsliced and bytesliced implementation techniques apply to the SHA-3 finalist Grøstl. We present a number of new Grøstl implementations which improve upon many previous results. For example, our fastest ARM NEON implementation of Grøstl is 40% faster than the ...

This thesis presents a low-level implementation of 414-bit multiplication on the ARM Cortex-M0, using four levels of Karatsuba and one level of schoolbook multiplication. This multiplication is an important part of Curve41417 created by D. Bernstein and T. Lange. This implementation requires 4014 clock cycles.

We report on relative performance numbers for affine and projective pairings on a dual-core Cortex A9 ARM processor. Using a fast inversion in the base field and doing inversion in extension fields by using the norm map to reduce to inversions in smaller fields, we find a very low ratio of inversion-to-multiplication costs. In our implementation, this favors using affine coordinates, even for t...

This paper reports the structural design of a new high-performance robot arm. Design objectives for the new arm include large (1-2 meter) workspace, low weight, 5 kg payload capacity, high stiiness, high structural vibration frequencies, precise joint-level torque control, a total of three degrees-of-freedom, and mechanical simplicity. A comparative analysis is reported for four very diierent t...

This paper describes highly-optimized AES-{128, 192, 256}CTR assembly implementations for the popular ARM Cortex-M3 and M4 embedded microprocessors. These implementations are about twice as fast as existing implementations. Additionally, we provide the fastest bitsliced constant-time and masked implementations of AES-128-CTR to protect against timing attacks, power analysis and other (first-ord...

The focus of this work is to design, develop and implement enhanced control and competitive robot arm thick and short cost. Design of four degree of freedom and talent of robot arm is to complete the accurate and simple tasks, such as optical materials processing, will be integrated into the mobile platform, as an assistant for the industrial labor force. Between the robot arm equipped with wea...

Association Rule Mining (ARM) is a popular data mining technique that has been used to determine customer buying patterns. Although improving performance and efficiency of various ARM algorithms is important, determining Healthy Buying Patterns (HBP) from customer transactions and association rules is also important. This paper proposes a framework for mining fuzzy attributes to generate HBP an...
