Positioning is not a new problem. Humanity has attempted to determine its location for centuries with tools such as sextants, clocks, maps, and more. One of the largest revolutions in this field is arguably the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), which can provide position information almost anywhere on earth. Unfortunately, GPS and similar satellite navigation systems cannot be used indoors. The signal strength is reduced ...
The current project focuses on the examination of a fundamental deficit in interpersonal perception, namely a lack of empathic accuracy in partners in distressed couples. Empathic accuracy is defined as “the understanding of another person’s episodic thoughts/feelings as they spontaneously occur during interactions”. This project examines (1) the role of motivation in distressed couples’ empathic inaccuracy, and (2) self-threat as primary ...
FAROS aims at improving functional accuracy through embedding physical intelligence in surgical robotics. A key motivation for introducing robots in operating rooms has been their ability to deliver superhuman performance. However, for the vast majority of surgical procedures, robotic positioning precision alone is not sufficient to realize the “right gesture”. Indeed, surgical accuracy is a different concept from standard engineering notions ...
Autonomous vehicles play an increasingly important role in our nowadays society. For these, accurate position and attitude estimation is crucial. This is achievable with RTK-GNSS (real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System), which relies on a set of satellite measurements from both an antenna on the vehicle and a reference GNSS receiver in the vicinity. The high accuracy of this sensor is affected when nearby vegetation or ...
This project focuses on developing sensors possibly integrated into a HVDC cable joint, for use in an online and/or offline fault localization measurement. By using measurements integrated into the cable joint, we are able to achieve a higher fault localization accuracy compared to measurements at the cable end given that attenuation and distortion of the wavefronts will be lower. Furthermore, it puts no special requirements on the location ...
A key motivation for introducing robotic systems in the operating room has been their ability to deliver superhuman performance. Surgical robots are able to execute precise gestures that rapidly and stably position instruments in many degrees of freedom (DOFs). However, for the vast majority of surgical procedures, positioning precision alone is not sufficient to realize the “right gesture”. Surgical plans are generally only a very idealised ...
