Abstract: Bio-inspired solutions have been deeply investigated in the last two decades as a source of propulsive improvement for autonomous underwater vehicles. Despite the efforts made to pursue the substantial potential payoffs ...

Abstract: The improvement of the waste management efficiency and sustainability in the electronics sector requires the disassembly and reuse of valuable electronic components, instead of their recycling for precious materials recovery. ...

Abstract: A novel parallel kinematics machine (PKM) stemming from the 3-SRU (spherical-revolute-universal) under-actuated joints topology is presented in this paper. The concept here proposed takes advantage of a reconfigurable ...
