Abstract: Based on the results of the preliminary study on the influence of high intensity Nd: YAG laser radiation on grinding wheel constituents, an experimental set-up for dressing a grinding wheel ...

Abstract: The use of cooperative cranes can improve the cost effectiveness of heavy lift operations. However, the complexity in developing a reliable lift plan prevents the widespread use of cooperative crane lifts. The availability ...

Abstract: Investigations on the use of laser as a dressing tool for grinding wheels have been carried out and the results are reported in a two paper sequence. This paper reports the results of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for automated path planning of cooperative crane manipulators using a genetic algorithm (GA). The inverse kinematic problem, i.e., determining the joint angle configuration for the ...
