  2. 1. On Modeling and Control of Flexible Manipulators

    Author : Stig Moberg; Svante Gunnarsson; Anders Robertsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System identification; multivariable systems; differential-algebraic equations; robots; manipulators; flexible structures; robustness; position control; nonlinear systems; closed-loop identification; frequency-response methods; industrial robots; robotics; control; feedforward; flexible arms; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Industrial robot manipulators are general-purpose machines used for industrial automation in order to increase productivity, flexibility, and quality. Other reasons for using industrial robots are cost saving, and elimination of heavy and health-hazardous work. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wireless Control of Modular Multilevel Converter Submodules

    Author : Baris Ciftci; Hans-Peter Nee; Lennart Harnefors; Staffan Norrga; James Gross; Lars Kildehöj Rasmussen; Remus Teodorescu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 5G mobile communication; autonomous control; converter control; distributed control; electromagnetic interference; emerging technology; fault ride-through; modular multilevel converter MMC ; prototype; wireless control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has extensively been used in high-voltage, high-power applications such as high-voltage dc transmission systems and flexible alternating current transmission systems. The control of MMC submodules is conventionally realized using wired communication systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Automation of front-end loaders : electronic self leveling and payload estimation

    Author : I Yung; Leonid Freidovich; Sven Rönnbäck; Carlos Vázquez; Tomas Nygren; Heikki Handroos; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Front-End Loaders; Electronic Self Leveling; Modeling; Control; Disturbance estimation; Payload estimation; Equations of motion; Pressure-based friction;

    Abstract : A growing population is driving automatization in agricultural industry to strive for more productive arable land. Being part of this process, this work is aimed to investigate the possibility to implement sensor-based automation in a particular system called Front End Loader, which is a lifting arms that is commonly mounted on the front of a tractor.

  6. 4. Understanding European Arms Export Controls : Material Interests and Competing Norms

    Author : Mark Bromley; Thomas Jonter; Neil Cooper; Michael Brzoska; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; arms control; arms export controls; defence industry; dual-use export controls; EU; international relations; norms; organization theory; organized hypocrisy; Sweden; International Relations; internationella relationer;

    Abstract : This thesis seeks to better understand the formation and implementation of the restrictions that the EU and EU member states have imposed on exports of military and security equipment. Specifically, the thesis develops two norms-based theoretical frameworks for understanding how and why particular restrictions become integrated in states’ national and collective export controls, why others are rejected, and the different ways this integration occurs.

  7. 5. Reactive control and coordination of redundant robotic systems

    Author : Yuquan Wang; Petter Ögren; Abderrahmane Kheddar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reactive control; dual-arm manipulation; mobile manipulation; ambulance positioning.; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Redundant robotic systems, in terms of manipulators with one or twoarms, mobile manipulators, and multi-agent systems, have received an in-creasing amount of attention in recent years. In this thesis we describe severalways to improve robotic system performance by exploiting the redundancy. READ MORE
