It has been recognized that advances in preventive maintenance can improve the sustainment of systems, facilities, and infrastructure. Robot technologies have also received attention for maintenance applications. In order to operate delicate tasks, multi-fingered robot hands have been proposed in cases where human capability is deficient. This paper deals with motion capturing systems for contr...

Data quality has a substantial impact on the quality of the results of a Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) effort. The poor quality of realworld data, as contained in many large data repositories, poses a serious threat to the future adoption of this new technology. Unfortunately, data quality assessment and improvement are often ignored in many KDD efforts, leading to disappointing results. ...

Within framework of UKoLoS project the new Super Resolution Maximum Length Binary Sequence UWB Radar (M-sequence radar) was developed. The radar consists of an M-sequence generator, transmitter front-end, receiver front-end, data capturing device and data processing blocks, whose design responsibilities were carried out by four institutions. In this thesis the design and measurements of the dat...
