This paper introduces a novel distance estimator using monocular vision for autonomous underwater grasping. The presented method is also applicable to topside grasping operations. The estimator is developed for robot manipulators with a monocular camera placed near the gripper. The fact that the...
Alternative feed ingredients for farmed salmon are warranted due to increasing pressure on wild fish stocks. As locally farmed blue mussels may represent an environmentally sustainable substitute with a lower carbon footprint, we aimed to test the potential and safety of substituting fish meal with...
We propose to use a conventional simulator, formulated on the topology of a coarse volumetric 3D grid, as a data-driven network model that seeks to reproduce observed and predict future well responses. The conceptual difference from standard history matching is that the tunable network parameters...
Dette er den sjuende og siste rapporten i en følgeevaluering (2014-2022) av strategien Kompetanse for fremtidens barnehage. Sluttrapporten undersøker hvordan kompetansestrategien har bidratt til at alle barn får et likeverdig barnehagetilbud av høy kvalitet. Empirisk bygger rapporten på surveydata...
This paper introduces a methodology for abstraction of photovoltaic (PV) technologies by parametrization of relevant PV module characteristics. The proposed approach is utilized to evaluate PV projects integrated with the road infrastructure. The silicon monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV...
I Energikommisjonens rapport "Mer av alt – raskere" beskrives et økt behov for fornybar energi til elektrifisering av transport og ny industri for å nå klimamålene, og et ambisiøst mål om energi-effektivisering i byggsektoren i størrelsesorden 15–20 TWh innen 2030. EU har ambisiøse mål for klimakutt...
In this paper we present a literature review on the role of surface-active components in emulsions and foams. Models are presently unable to accurately predict scenarios involving multiphase flows with complex chemistry, and this is a major obstacle for many petroleum production/transport systems...
Objective: Pre-clinical trials have obtained promising results that focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles (MBs) increases tumor uptake and the therapeutic effect of drugs. The aims of the study described here were to investigate whether FUS and MBs could improve the effect of...
As the power system is becoming more weather-dependent and integrated to meet decarbonization targets, the level and severity of uncertainty increase and inevitably introduce higher risk of demand rationing or economic loss. This paper reviews the representation of uncertainty in power market models...
I Bærum kommune er det oppført et demobygg som er en del av EU-prosjektet Cultural-E. SINTEF er forskningspartner, og bidrar med å definere løsninger for plussenergibygninger under norske forhold....
