Sandro R. Fiorini, Julita Bermejo-Alonso, Paulo Goncalves, Edison Pignaton de Freitas, Alberto Olivares Alarcos, Joanna Isabelle Olszewska, Edson Prestes, Craig I. Schlenoff, Veera S. Ragavan, Signe Redfield, Bruce Spencer, Howard Li
One of the basic requirements for any type of robot communication (whether with other robots or humans) is the need for a common vocabulary along with clear and concise definitions. With the growing complexity of tasks that robots are expected to perform

What More Agile Robots Could Mean for Consumers

March 24, 2017
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff
The ways that developers of robots have talked about their craft have been highly specialized to a given domain-and sometimes have varied even within the domain. This has made it difficult to share advances across the landscape of robot R&D and, in turn

Neuroelectronic Device Process Development and Challenge

March 16, 2017
Author(s)
Jessie Zhang, Gymama Slaughter, Matthew Robinson, Joel Tyson
One of the major challenges of brain activity monitoring is to obtain high quality signals from the brain using metal electrodes. The probes consisting of metal electrodes have to be thin enough without damaging the tissue while maintaining good contact to

Towards a Digital Thread and Data Package for Metals Additive Manufacturing

March 6, 2017
Author(s)
Paul Witherell, Yan Lu, Shaw C. Feng, Duckbong Kim
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been envisioned by many as the next industrial revolution. Potential benefits of AM include the production of low-volume, customized, complicated parts/products, supply chain efficiencies, shortened time-to-market, and

Guideline for Automatic Guided Vehicle Calibration
