The study of Zero-moment point (ZMP) in ROBOCLIMBER (quadruped walking and climbing robot) was realized and calculated in real time during statically postural and dynamically balanced gait. Force sensor with strain gages ...

Nesta pesquisa é proposta uma metodologia para a orientação semi-automática de imagens CBERS usando rodovias como controle de campo. Baseia-se numa estratégia iterativa envolvendo três etapas. Na primeira etapa um operador ...

Ground control information is essential for photogrammetric applications. No matter the type of control, a manual interactive step is still required to locate image coordinates of Ground Control Points (GCPs). This approach ...

In aerospace applications, a ground power unit has to provide balanced and sinusoidal 400 Hz phase-to-neutral voltages to unbalanced and nonlinear single-phase loads. Compensation of high-order harmonics is complex, as the ...

Point clouds captured from Unmanned Aerial Systems are increasingly relied upon to provide information describing the structure of forests. The quality of the information derived from these point clouds is dependent on a ...

The characterization of strength of earthquake demands for seismic analysis or design requires the specification of a level of intensity. Numerous ground motion intensity indices that have been proposed over the years are ...
