In robotic manipulation, tactile sensors are indispensable, especially when dealing with soft objects, objects of varying dimensions, or those out of the robot's direct line of sight. Traditional tactile sensors often grapple with…
This paper presents a household cooling system controller which is adaptive and intelligent in nature. It is able to control the speed of a household cooling fan or an air conditioner based on the real time data namely room temperature,…
This paper describes, in detail, techniques for measuring the Hurst parameter. Measurements are given on artificial data both in a raw form and corrupted in various ways to check the robustness of the tools in question. Measurements are…
A new type of integrated temperature and humidity sensor applying LTCC-technology has been developed and characterized. In this approach, sensing elements are implemented using heated metal resistors (Pt-elements), where one is exposed to…
Numerical models used in weather and climate prediction take into account a comprehensive set of atmospheric processes such as the resolved and unresolved fluid dynamics, radiative transfer, cloud and aerosol life cycles, and mass or energy…
This research focused on the development of a cost-effective IoT solution for energy and environment monitoring geared towards manufacturing industries. The proposed system is developed using open-source software that can be easily deployed…
Driven by the need to offset the variability of renewable generation on the grid, development of load control is a highly active field of research. However, practical use of residential loads for grid balancing remains rare, in part due to…
A method for online decorrelation of chemical sensor signals from the effects of environmental humidity and temperature variations is proposed. The goal is to improve the accuracy of electronic nose measurements for continuous monitoring by…
Controlling building electric loads could alleviate the increasing grid strain caused by the adoption of renewables and electrification. However, current approaches that automatically setback thermostats on the hottest day compromise their…
The exploration of electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials has become one of the most attractive line of research since the isolation of graphene. Such 'all-surface materials' present a strong sensitivity…
The control of pneumatically driven soft robots typically requires electronics. Microcontrollers are connected to power electronics that switch valves and pumps on and off. As a recent alternative, fluidic control methods have been…
How difficult can it be to implement a PID controller? The answer is twofold. Implementing the PID control law is simple and computationally inexpensive. However, this basic form will not work in practical applications. The primary reason…
This paper presents a cost-effective and distributed flow monitoring platform for collecting unsampled IPFIX data exclusively using open-source tools, which is implemented at the University of T\"ubingen. An overview of all tools is given…
In this work, we describe the development and application of a low-cost fluid interface visualizer referred to as the ``Meniscope.'' The device works using a color-based surface gradient detector method that maps the gradient of an…

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with various promising applications have attracted significant interest. However, alloying immiscible metal elements while controlling the morphology and crystallinity remains extremely challenging. We report a…
Quantum coherence inherently affects the dynamics and the performances of a quantum machine. Coherent control can, at least in principle, enhance the work extraction and boost the velocity of evolution in an open quantum system. Using…
In this paper, we show that a hybrid method using coupled boundary measurements can determine electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and the product of heat capacity and heat density within a bounded domain on the plane uniquely up…
This paper considers the control design for a low-cost ventilator that is based on a manual resuscitator bag (also known as AmbuBag) to pump air into the lungs of a patient who is physically unable to breathe. First, it experimentally shows…
Intelligent building automation systems can reduce the energy consumption of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) units by sensing the comfort requirements automatically and scheduling the HVAC operations dynamically.…
