  5. 4. Towards Safer and Risk-aware Motion Planning and Control for Robotic Systems

    Författare :Fernando S. Barbosa; Jana Tumova; Stephen Smith; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Safety and risk-awareness are important properties for robotic systems, be it for protecting them from potentially dangerous internal states, or for avoiding collisions with obstacles and environmental hazards in disaster scenarios. Ensuring safety may be the role of more than one algorithmic layer in a system, each with varying assumptions and guarantees. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Gradient-based optimization of non-linear structures and materials

    Författare :Anna Dalklint; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Topology optimization; Shape optimization; Finite strain; Eigenvalue problems; Soft robotics;

    Sammanfattning : Gradient-based optimization is a potent tool in many design processes today. It is particularly useful in industries where weight considerations are crucial, such as aerospace, but can also be exploited in for example civil engineering applications to reduce the material use and thereby the environmental impact.
