Abstract: A distinctive neural network architecture, called the Fourier Series Neural Network (FSNN), is developed with particular consideration for applications in the area of system identification and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a deterministic nonlinear lumped parameter mathematical model useful for the study and design of polymer injection molding machines and their associated ...

Abstract: Robot hands capable of applying controllable forces to a wide variety of objects would increase the number of robotic applications in manufacturing. One frequently overlooked part of the force ...

Abstract: This paper presents the potential use of a robotic end-effector for acquiring single plies from a stack of fabrics. This type of end-effector would be required to integrate robots into present-day ...
