Optimizing 3D Bin Packing of Heterogeneous Objects Using Continuous Transformations in SE(3)

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a method for solving the three‐dimensional bin packing problem for heterogeneous objects using continuous rigid‐body transformations in SE(3). A heuristic optimization framework combines signed‐distance functions, neural network approximations, point‐cloud bin modeling, and physics simulation to ensure feasibility and stability ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Design of an adaptive backstepping controller for auto-berthing a cruise ship under wind loads

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2014
The auto-berthing of a ship requires excellent control for safe accomplishment. Crabbing, which is the pure sway motion of a ship without surge velocity, can be used for this purpose.

Modeling an offshore container terminal: the Venice case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In order to reduce marine transportation times and related costs, as well as the environmental impacts, an alternative multimodal route to the current Suez-Gibraltar-North Sea corridor for the containers shipped from Far and Middle East was identified as

PPO‐Based Reinforcement Learning for the Semi‐Active Vibration Control of MDOF Platform

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aiming at the coupled vibration problem of a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) vibration isolation platform under eccentric excitation, this paper proposes a semi‐active vibration control strategy based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) ‐based reinforcement learning (PPO RL).

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Human-Navigable Ship-Handling Support Using Improved Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient for Survey Line Tracking

open access: yesAutomation
This study presents a human-navigable ship-handling support system that employs artificial intelligence (AI) for survey line tracking. AI was developed using the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), a type of deep reinforcement learning (DRL), and ...
