Soft Hands with Embodied Constraints: The Soft ScoopGripper [PDF]
2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2019 The design of robotic grippers requires the accomplishment of several contrasting requirements. Research in under actuated soft hands is a lively topic, with several potentialities and challenges. Soft hands are simple, robust and able of adapting to uncertain environment and operative conditions, however their intrinsic compliance and underactuation ...

On the effects of hard and soft equality constraints in the iterative outlier elimination procedure.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Reliability analysis allows for the estimation of a system's probability of detecting and identifying outliers. Failure to identify an outlier can jeopardize the reliability level of a system. Due to its importance, outliers must be appropriately treated

Optimal trajectory generation with direct acceleration reshaping for autonomous vehicles
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2020 This paper focuses on acceleration trajectory shaping using model predictive control for autonomous vehicles. The proposed method employs two types of constraints for the shaping: hard constraints, which must be satisfied and soft constraints, which can ...

Image-Based Planning of Minimally Traumatic Inner Ear Access for Robotic Cochlear Implantation
Frontiers in Surgery, 2021 Objective: During robotic cochlear implantation, an image-guided robotic system provides keyhole access to the scala tympani of the cochlea to allow insertion of the cochlear implant array. To standardize minimally traumatic robotic access to the cochlea,

Robust Model Predictive Control of a Plate Heat Exchanger
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018 Advanced process control includes optimization-based tools that are recently widely implemented in industry to maximize economical effectiveness and to minimize environmental impact. Robust model predictive control (MPC) is one of these strategies and it

Soft constraints for KnowLang [PDF]
Proceedings of the Fifth International C* Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, 2012 Constraints are widely used in information technologies and research fields such as programming languages, artificial intelligence, databases, information security, web technologies, etc. In this paper, we present our preliminary steps of using soft constraints for knowledge representation.

The investment behaviour of dairy farms in transition economies
Baltic Journal of Economics, 2021 This article investigates dairy farm investment behaviour and the presence of soft budget constraints in the dairy farms of Baltic and Central European transition countries – Estonia, Hungary and Slovenia – using individual dairy farm accountancy panel ...

Frontiers in Mechanical EngineeringIn this work, we propose a new Gaussian process (GP) regression framework that enforces the physical constraints in a probabilistic manner. Specifically, we focus on inequality and monotonicity constraints.

Size and Soft Budget Constraints [PDF]
There is much evidence against the so-called "too big to fail" hypothesis in the case of bailouts to sub-national governments. We look at a model where districts of different size provide local public goods with positive spillovers.
