  • A Method for the Complete Set of Solutions of the Finite-Position Synthesis Problem 

    Pérez Gracia, Alba (Springer, 2022)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The equations that appear in the formulation of finite-position synthesis problems tend to increase their complexity and become quite large when solving for multiple-joint systems. In this work, we create a new set of ...
  • A novel method for integrated multicriteria decision-making with uncertainty: A case study on sustainable agriculture in Colombia 

    Juanpera Gallel, Marc; Ferrer Martí, Laia; Garfi, Marianna; Domenech Léga, Bruno; Pastor Moreno, Rafael (IntechOpen, 2022-09-08)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Multicriteria decision-making usually requires a set of experts to evaluate the importance of selected criteria and the adequacy of feasible alternatives according to the criteria. Uncertainty can arise in these evaluations, ...

    At present, the handcrafted footwear sector is affected by the high competitiveness due to the increasing automation of companies. In this sense, in order to improve its competitiveness, a system was proposed to predict ...
  • Quaternions and Clifford Algebras 

    Pérez Gracia, Alba (Springer, 2021)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Quaternions are a type of hypercomplex numbers. Unit quaternions, which describe rotations, were called versors by Hamilton. The concept of versor can be generalized as the product of invertible vectors in the Clifford ...

    The Additive Manufacturing (AM) field is revolutionizing the industrial sector in different areas such as automotive, aeronautics, medicine, etc. Many patents aboutAMprocesseswere granted at the end of the XXth century. ...
  • Exoskeleton Design Using Subject-Specific Synergy-Driven Neuromusculoskeletal Models 

    Arones, Marleny; Font Llagunes, Josep Maria; Fregly, Benjamin Jon (Springer Nature, 2022-01-01)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Most assistive devices available today are unable to improve gait asymmetries due to the lack of knowledge on how to directly enforce kinematic symmetry in the formulation of cost functions. We designed a cost function to ...
  • Virtual human hand: wrist movements 

    Peña Pitarch, Esteve; Puig de la Bellacasa, Inmaculada; Padilla Magaña, Jesús Fernando; Al Omar Mesnaoui, Anas; Alcelay Larrión, José Ignacio (Springer, 2021-06-27)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    Hand model with 25 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) was developed and implemented considering forward and inverse kinematics. However, the model, after some experience and use need to add new DOF. The proposed model is with 29 ...
  • A model for predicting the specific energy consumption of HSM of AISI 316L using ANN 

    Pérez Rodríguez, Roberto; Hernández González, Luis Wilfredo; Curra Sosa, Dagnier; Zambrano Robledo, Patricia del Carmen; Zayas Figueras, Enrique Ernesto; de la Rosa Melian, Julio Ernesto (2021-02-09)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    This work presents a model for predicting the specific energy consumption (SEC) of HSM of AISI 316L, using an ANN (Artificial Neural Network). The characteristics of material-cutting power and influence of the cutting ...
  • Decision support models for the selection of production strategies in the paradigm of digital manufacturing, based on technologies, costs and productivity levels
