Energy management strategy (EMS) is the key for efficient hybrid vehicles. Two EMS kinds can be generally used: optimal-based algorithms to reach optimum and rule-based algorithms for its easy implementation. The paper objective is to propose a hybrid optimal EMS using optimal-based and rule-based approaches to use benefits of each approach. This hybrid optimal approach enables to reduce the computation...
Electric vehicle (EV) are one solution for the next decades to face the greenhouse gases emission issue. The most important drawbacks about the EV concern the limited range depending of the battery performances and the charging time. The vehicle range is estimated with standard drive cycles and ideal conditions. The objective of this paper is to propose a simulation tool to calculate the energy distribution...
This paper is the continuation of a work presented at ICORR 07, in which we discussed the possibility of improving eye-hand coordination in children diagnosed with this problem, using a robotic mapping from a haptic user interface to a virtual environment. Our goal is to develop, implement and refine a system that will assess and improve the eye-hand coordination and grip strength in children diagnosed...
This work presents the development of a capacitive tactile and shear-stress sensing array which can be easily and reliably fabricated by using MEMS techniques and flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) technologies. The sensing array consists of two micromachined PDMS structures and an FPCB with sensing electrodes. Each shear sensing element comprises four capacitive sensing element arranged in 2??2...
Environment Intelligence is becoming ubiquitous. Wireless sensor networks supported environment intelligence is providing an opportunity to service robot navigation to reduce the complexity of conventional centralized and on-board map-building, localization, path-planning and motion control, whilst superior performance can be expected. In terms of robot path planning in a dynamic environment, distributed...
