A semi-autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), named LAURS, is being developed at the Laboratory of Sensors and Actuators at the University of Sao Paulo. The vehicle has been designed to provide inspection and ...

A presente dissertação apresenta o projeto e análise do comportamento de uma solução hidráulica que incorpora transmissão hidrostática, atuação do ângulo de passo ou pitch, além da atuação de yaw em um aerogerador de eixo ...

This project addresses the problem of yaw stability control of a distributed electric vehicle in the presence of different road conditions like snow or wet asphalt. The objective of the yaw stability control system (ESC) ...

Early career researchers (ECRs) are important stakeholders leading efforts to catalyze systemic change in research culture and practice. Here, we summarize the outputs from a virtual unconventional conference (unconference), ...

Whirl flutter is an aeroelastic instability that can be affected by structural or/and aerodynamic nonlinearities. This instability may lead to potentially dangerous behaviors. In this study, a nonlinear reduced-order model ...

Aerial drones have improved significantly over the recent decades with stronger and smaller motors, more powerful propellers, and overall optimization of systems. These improvements have consequently increased top speeds ...

The control of a new structure of twin wind turbines (TWT) is presented in this paper. This new concept includes two identical wind turbines ridden on the same tower, which can pivot face the wind with no additional actuator. ...

Tecnologias móveis na saúde (mHealth) representam há alguns anos a força de transformação para melhorar problemas de saúde em países de baixa e média renda (LMIC). Embora vários estudos tenham identificado ...
