Evaluation of Human Intervention-Based Hybrid Approach for Position and Depth Estimation With Error Correction

Position and depth (PD) estimation is one of the key characteristics of autonomous robots. Robots are often challenged to visualize an alien environment remotely, alongside the control mechanism, and estimate the PD of objects. For the robot to reach o…

An Isolated Dual-Input Half-Bridge DC–DC Boost Converter With Reduced Circulating Power Between Input Ports

This article addresses a dual-input half-bridge DC–DC converter for proper utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs). The proposed system includes two different variable sources to examine the power distribution in each module, two high-fre…

Stochastic Optimal Power Flow in Hybrid Power System Using Reduced-Discrete Point Estimation Method and Latin Hypercube Sampling

Stochastic nature of some input variables dictates the requisite of probabilistic analysis in power systems operation and planning. Wind generation is considered as a main source of intermittency in power systems due to the uncertain nature of wind spe…

3-D Path Planning Using Improved RRT* Algorithm for Robot-Assisted Flexible Needle Insertion in Multilayer Tissues

In the field of minimally invasive surgery, flexible needles can avoid blood vessels and organs more flexibly compared to rigid needles. One of the main challenges when using flexible needles to reach lesions is planning a suitable path. Due to the non…

A Novel Plug-In Core Design for Three-Phase Transformers Une nouvelle conception de noyau enfichable pour les transformateurs triphasés

In this study, in order to reduce stacking time and production costs of transformer electrical sheets, a new Plug-In core model has been proposed. This Plug-In transformer was designed as a three-phase transformer made with M330-50A electrical steel wi…
