1. Modeling a carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical relay
Abstract : We have theoretically investigated the properties of a three-terminal carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical relay. The system operationis based on an coupling between electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom which is a typical characteristic of a NEMS device. READ MORE

2. Condition Monitoring of Control Loops
Abstract : The main concern of this work is the development of methodsfor automatic condition monitoring of control loops withapplication to the process industry. By condition monitoringboth detection and diagnosis of malfunctioning control loops isunderstood, using normal operating data and a minimum amount ofprocess knowledge. READ MORE

3. Active Matter in a Critical State: From passive building blocks to active molecules, engines, and active droplets
Abstract : The motion of microscopic objects is strongly affected by their surrounding environment. In quiescent liquids, motion is reduced to random fluctuations known as Brownian motion. Nevertheless, microorganisms have been able to develop mechanisms to generate active motion. READ MORE

4. Carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectromechanics
Abstract : Carbon nanotubes, a novel material with extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties, are good candidates for designing nanoelectromechanical systems. The typical length scale of these systems is nanometers and an important characteristic is a coupling between electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom. READ MORE

5. Human-Robot Collaboration for Kinesthetic Teaching
Abstract : Recent industrial interest in producing smaller volumes of products in shorter time frames, in contrast to mass production in previous decades, motivated the introduction of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings, as an attempt to increase flexibility in manufacturing applications by incorporating human intelligence and dexterity to these processes. This thesis presents methods for improving the involvement of human operators in industrial settings where robots are present, with a particular focus on kinesthetic teaching, i. READ MORE
