Poster about and demonstration of a snake like robot able to search for survivors buried in rubble as an aid for urban search and rescue teams. Visitors were also invited to control the robot climbing above an obstacle....

This paper investigates and implements a procedure for parameter identification of salient pole synchronous machines that is based on previous knowledge about the equipment and can be used for condition monitoring, online assessment of the electrical power grid, and adaptive control. It uses a Kalma...

User interface (UI) is a platform that enables interaction between a human and a machine, a visual part of an information device, such as a computer or software, which user interacts with. A good user interface design makes operating a machine efficient, safe and user friendly in a way that gives th...

This investigation proposes a CPES architecture and model for engineering energy management application for smart grids. In particular, the investigation considers the implementation of the power systems state estimator (PSSE). The CPES architecture has three layers: physical, monitoring and applica...

Two Major challenges in securing reliable Optimal Power Flow (OPF) operations are: (i) fluctuations induced due to renewable generators and energy demand, and (ii) interaction and interoperability among the different entities. Addressing these issues requires handling both physical (e.g., power flow...

In nature, snakes can gracefully traverse a wide range of different and complex environments. Snake robots that can mimic this behaviour could be fitted with sensors and transport tools to hazardous or confined areas that other robots and humans are unable to access. In order to carry out such tasks...

Snake robots equipped with sensors and tools could potentially contribute to applications such as fire-fighting, industrial inspection, search-and-rescue and more. Such capabilities would require that a snake robot has a high degree of awareness of its surroundings (i.e. perception-driven locomotion...
