Accurate and fast visual localization is required in many applications of mini-robotics. Obtaining the best possible result fora given platform requires a balanced combination of camera settings and efficient image processing of the acquired image. Inthis paper, we study the trade-off betwee...

A novel way of optimizing a reluctance motor with rotor manufactured by 3D printing technology is presented. The optimization algorithms must take into account the tolerances of its production that are generally higher compared with classical processing, which requires a high level of&#...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the calibration of a laser welding model suitable for solving problems with input data that are either unknown or known only approximately. Design/methodology/approach – The calibration starts from the measured temperature profile&#...

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a number of approaches to reduce the temperature gradient of titanium billets in the heat treatment process. Design/methodology/approach – Modeling physical processes in the induction unit is calculated by the finite element method. Required pow...

A magnetic and nonlinear structural mechanic coupled problem is discussed concerning the behaviour of a magnetorheological elastomer. Material properties and hyperelastic character of the material were found by measurements. Based on the measurements and computations, a coupled mathematical model is&#...
