INACHUS Robot
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....
Online parameter identification of synchronous machines using Kalman filter and recursive least squares
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...

User Interface Design Guidelines for Marine Autonomous Operations Involving a Large Number of Actors, Devices and Sensors
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...

Cyber-Physical Energy Systems Approach for Engineering Power System State Estimation in Smart Grids
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...
A Cyber-Physical Systems Approach for Implementing the Receding Horizon Optimal Power Flow in Smart Grids
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...
Perception-Driven Obstacle-Aided Locomotion for Snake Robots: The State of the Art, Challenges and Possibilities
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...
Modelling growth performance and feeding behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in commercial-size aquaculture net pens: Model details and validation through full-scale experiments
We have developed a mathematical modelwhich estimates the growth performance of Atlantic salmon in aquaculture production units. The model consists of sub-models estimating the behaviour and energetics of the fish, the distribution of feed pellets, and the abiotic conditions in the water column. A...
