Abstract: This paper delves into the output feedback sliding mode control (SMC) problems in a class of Interval Type-2 (IT2) fuzzy systems affected by sensor faults. Firstly, a Markovian chain is ...

A researcher at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is designing small flying robots modeled after bats to support search ...

Nitin J. Sanket, a professor at WPI, has developed small flying robots with his team that fit in the palm of a hand and use ...

They’re a vital source of renewable energy, but wind turbines can be a danger to bats. Bat-detection technology could protect ...

Don't be fooled by the fog machine, spooky lights and fake bats: the robotics lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute lab ...

Scientists at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have developed small drones inspired by bats, designed to assist search and rescue missions.

Tom Gandolph grew up at the baseball field. At a young age, he was introduced to the sport through his father, Dave Gandolph, who has coached for 50 seasons at various schools in Central Indiana. His ...

But development didn't go completely smoothly. The researchers realised that the noise of the bat robot's propellers interfered with the ultrasound, requiring 3D printed shells to minimise the ...
