Design strategies that benefit from the reuse of system components can reduce costs while maintaining or increasing dependability—we use the term dependability to tie together reliability and availability. D3H2 (aDaptive Dependable Design for systems... Read More about On cost-effective reuse of components in the design of complex reconfigurable systems.

On the derivation of novel model and sophisticated control of flexible joint manipulator (2017)
Journal Article
Khan, O., Pervaiz, M., Ahmad, E., & Iqbal, J. (2017). On the derivation of novel model and sophisticated control of flexible joint manipulator. Revue Roumaine des Sciences Techniques : Série Électrotechnique et Énergétique, 62(1), 103-108

Flexibility in robotic manipulators offers several benefits in terms of weight, maneuverability, operational speed and power consumption. However, these merits are obtained at the cost of control complexity. This paper addresses the control problem o...
