Environmental inefficiencies of short sea shipping vessels by optimization processes based on resistance prediction methods
(MDPI, 2022-10-09)
[Abstract]: Fulfilment of the progressive environmental normative involves a singular challenge for Short Sea Shipping (SSS), since it must maintain its competitiveness versus other transport alternatives. For this reason, ...
Engineering morphological development in a robotic bipedal walking problem: An empirical study
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-03)
[Abstract]: In living beings, the natural development of the body has been shown to facilitate learning. The application of these natural developmental principles in robotics have been considered in different robotic ...
Reliability and Maintenance Management Analysis on OffShore Wind Turbines (OWTs)
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Due to the extreme marine operating environment, the remoteness from the maintenance base, and the expensive specialized accessibility and overhaul equipment needed (e.g., barges, boats, ships, and vessels), ...
Numerical Simulations and Modal Analysis to Investigate the Defects in a Coating Process
(MDPI, 2021-10)
Abstract: This work investigates the hydrodynamics of jet wiping, a coating process in which a thin slot gas jet impinges on a coating film dragged by a moving strip; thus, reducing the coating thickness and developing a ...
Simulation of the Fluid–Structure Interaction in Fishing Nets
(MDPI, 2021-10)
Abstract: The main objective of this work is the development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics model coupled with a structural code for the simulation and optimization of fishing gears. As fishing nets are highly deformable ...
Developing a Simulation Model for Autonomous Driving Education in the Robobo SmartCity Framework
(MDPI, 2021-10)
Abstract: This paper focuses on long-term education in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to robotics. Specifically, it presents the Robobo SmartCity educational framework. It is based on two main elements: the ...
UniDA: Uniform Device Access Framework for Human Interaction Environments
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2011)
[Abstract] Human interaction environments (HIE) must be understood as any place where people carry out their daily life, including their work, family life, leisure and social life, interacting with technology to enhance ...
Environmental assessment model for scrubbers versus alternative mitigation systems for feeder vessels in liner shipping
(Elsevier, 2022-08-17)
[Abstract] Implementation of the Global Sulphur Cap (GSC), in January 2020, boosted scrubber installation in vessels to fulfill the new air emission limitations. This increase in scrubbers’ use has intensified concern about ...
A Study of Growth Based Morphological Development in Neural Network Controlled Walkers
(Elsevier, 2022-05-25)
[Abstract] In nature, the physical development of the body that takes place in parallel to the cognitive development of the individual has been shown to facilitate learning. This opens up the question of whether the same ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Extrusion and Deposition Process of a Poly(lactic Acid) Strand with Fused Deposition Modeling
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] In the last decade, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has gained popularity for allowing the fabrication of pieces with complex shapes. The final quality of the pieces is strongly linked to the shape, size and ...
