Optimal design of distributed braking system for electric vehicles
The increasing electrification of automotive subsystems is driving the development of advanced mechatronic braking solutions capable of delivering high performance, robustness, and efficiency under a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, single-corner braking systems that integrate electric machines with mechanical braking components represent a promising architecture for future brake-by-wire and electro-mechanical brake applications. This

Development and optimization of stepping algorithm and motion control for piezoelectric walking drives
General Introduction on nuclear fusion (reading is strongly advised!) Piezoelectric walking drives are used in the DTT ECRH launcher to drive the steering mirror. These systems include a set of piezoelectric stack actuators that produce a walking motion on a slider, thus moving it longitudinally. The actuators are currently controlled by a proprietary board. However,

Haptically controlled robots for remote handling of nuclear waste in hot cells
This thesis focuses on the development of a remotely controlled robotic system for use in hot cells, shielded environments designed for handling radioactive materials. Due to the presence of high radiation, operations inside hot cells are performed using remote handling systems. These typically involve mechanical tele-manipulators, which work on the principle of “mirroring” the operator’s
