In this thesis a novel guidance method for a 3-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator arm in 3 dimensions for Improvised Explosive Device (IED) disposal has been developed. The work carried out in this thesis combines ...

To address the sustainability challenges for air transport, electrified aviation delivers promising benefits to the whole air transportation system. Focusing on reducing environmental impact and raising competitiveness, ...

Small calibre projectiles are spin-stabilised to increase ballistic stability, often at high frequencies. Due to hardware limitations, conventional actuators and meth ods are unable to provide satisfactory control at such ...

A multiterminal high-voltage dc (MTDC) system is a promising method for transmitting energy generated from an offshore windfarm (OWF). The creation of MTDC systems became easier by the introduction of voltage source converter ...

The exchange of power among the microgrid (MG), electric vehicles (EVs), energy storages (batteries), and the utility grid is a great challenge in the formulation of the optimal scheduling of the MGs. Furthermore, ...
