Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used over the last few decades to perform tasks by learning with comparisons. Fitting input-output models, system identification, control, and ...

Richard Warburton takes a wire coat hanger, cuts the hook off, cuts and straightens the wires and bends the metal into two “L” shaped rods, also known as dowsing rods. He walks with one rod in each ...

Linked pendulums can get one another going. Start one of these two pendulums swinging and soon you’ll see the other pendulum start swinging, too. Keep watching and you’ll see the two pendulums take ...

The control of a rotary inverted pendulum (RIP) is challenging because it is an underactuated, highly sensitive, and unsteady system. Sliding mode control (SMC) is a nonlinear control method with high ...

Spanish researchers have developed a new system that converts water current vibrations into renewable energy. A team of researchers led by Francisco Huera from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new system designed by Francisco Huera, a researcher in the Department of ...
