A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...
We explore the problem of small-scale multi-robot formation control using only an unsophisticated, on-board relative positioning module. The robotic setup and module are implemented and tested in a realistic virtual simulator, using standard formation type ...

This paper describes an experiment involving a professional downhill skier equipped with GPS and MEMS-IMU, as well as a triad of magnetometers and a tactical-grade inertial unit. The experiment illustrates the navigation performance of GPS/MEMS integration ...
A mapping system by vision-aided inertial navigation was developed for areas where GNSS signals are unreachable. In this framework, a methodology on the integration of vision and inertial sensors is presented, analysed and tested. The system employs the me ...
Today’s surgical navigation systems are difficult to use for deformable organs. State of the art technology struggles to continuously update and display preoperative information such that it corresponds to the actual position of the organ. An update method ...
Adiabaticity plays a central role in modern magnetic resonance experiments, as excitations with adiabatic Hamiltonians allow precise control of the dynamics of the spin states during the course of an experiment. Surprisingly, many commonly used adiabatic p ...
This article introduces a new measure of travel time reliability for implementation in the dynamic routing algorithm of an intelligent car navigation system. The measure is based on the log-normal distribution of travel time on a link and consists of two i ...
We have developed a simple and accurate method for calibrating the amplitude of vibration of quartz tuning fork sensors commonly used in at. force- and near field optical-microscopy. Unlike interferometric methods, which require a complex optical setup, th ...
The article presents two different torque measurement methods for very high speed synchronous motors: one uses an eddy current brake, and the other is an inertial method. The article also presents a ball bearings friction torque measurement method designed ...
Many studies have shown the efficacy of orientation and three-dimensional joint angle measurement for patient evaluation or rehabilitation purposes. But currently, the use of these systems for routine practice is questionable. The commercially available de ...
