Nowadays, one of the main topics in robotics research is dynamic performance improvement by means of a lightening of the overall system structure. The effective motion and control of these lightweight robotic systems occurs with the use of suitable motion planning and control process. In order to do so, model‐ based approaches can be adopted by exploiting accurate dynamic...

Establishing cooperation and protecting individuals from selfish or malicious behaviour are key goals in open multi-agent systems. Incomplete information regarding potential interaction partners can undermine mechanisms such as trust and reputation, particularly in lightweight systems designed for individuals with significant resource constraints. In this paper, we (i) propose extending low cos...

Human arm is one of the most sophisticated biological limbs known in a wildlife, capable to accomplish the most different and delicate sensory-motor tasks such as for example, lifting and carrying of payload, precise manipulation, symbolic gesticulation up to a fine sensitivity and tactile perception, pressure feeling, texture, temperature, moisture, fluid stream sensing, etc. A human arm with ...

Establishing cooperation and protecting individuals from selfish and malicious behavior are key goals in open multiagent systems. Incomplete information regarding potential interaction partners can undermine typical cooperation mechanisms such as trust and reputation, particularly in lightweight systems designed for individuals with significant resource constraints. In this article, we (i) prop...

This paper concerns with the design of an acoustic cavity (transmission suite) for the vibro-acoustic characterization of lightweight panels. This setup has the big advantage of being a small (1150x984x820 mm) which allows the identification of the studied behaviour for both structureand airborne excitation, on panels of different size (from A4 to A2) and thickness (up to 5cm). Particular effor...

Widespread attention is recently paid upon RFID system structure considering its ease of deployment over an extensive range of applications. Due to its several advantages, many technical articles are published to improve its capabilities over specific system implementations. Recently, a lightweight antide-synchronization RFID authentication protocol and a lightweight binding proof protocol to g...

The defining characteristic of ultra-lightweight and inflatable space structures is that they are both very large and very low mass. This makes standard contacting methods of measurement (e.g. attaching accelerometers) impractical because the dynamics of the structure would be changed by the mass of the contacting instrument. Optical measurements are therefore more appropriate. Photogrammetry i...

The sound transmission loss of lightweight structures can be increased by the application of facing formworks. In the aircraft industry this task is accomplished by means of sidewall panels (linings) mounted on the primary fuselage structure of an aircraft. At low frequencies (< 1000Hz), however, the sound transmission loss is dominated by the so-called mass-law which prescribes an inverse rela...

In the aerospace industry, spacecraft often serve in harsh operating environments, so design of ultra-lightweight and high-performance structures is a major requirement structure design. this article, lightweight bracket considering fatigue performance was designed by topology optimization manufactured 3D-printing. Considering requirements assembly with fixture for testing avoiding stress conce...
