	abstract = {The paper addresses feedback control of actuated prostheses based on the Stewart platform parallel mechanism. In such a problem it is essential to apply a feasible numerical method to determine in real time the solution of the forward kinematics, which is highly nonlinear and characterized by analytical indetermination. In this paper, the forward kinematics problem for a human elbow hydraulic prosthesis developed by the research group of Polytechnic of Bari is solved using artificial neural networks as an effective and simple method to obtain in real time the solution of the problem while limiting the computational effort. We show the effectiveness of the technique by designing a PID controller that governs the arm motion thanks to the provided neural computation of the forward kinematics. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {A long range visual perception system is presented based on a multi-baseline stereo frame. The system is intended to be used onboard an autonomous vehicle operating in natural settings, such as an agricultural environment, to perform 3D scene reconstruction and segmentation tasks. First, the multi-baseline stereo sensor and the associated processing algorithms are described; then, a self-learning ground classifier is applied to segment the scene into ground and non-ground regions, using geometric features, without any a priori assumption on the terrain characteristics. Experimental results obtained with an off-road vehicle operating in an agricultural test field are presented to validate the proposed approach. It is shown that the use of a multi-baseline stereo frame allows for accurate reconstruction and scene segmentation at a wide range of viewing distances, thus increasing the overall flexibility and reliability of the perception system},

	journal = {ENGINEERING FRACTURE MECHANICS},
	abstract = {A novel set up is proposed to measure the energy release rate versus crack propagation speed in
viscoelastic materials. The new test is referred to as the square sample tear test. In comparison
to other techniques as the pure shear specimen and the pure tensile specimen tests, the square
sample geometry guarantees at the same time: (i) a constant flux of elastic energy at the crack tip,
(ii) the full development of the annular dissipative region around the crack tip, where the material
is in the transion region of the viscoelastic response spectrum. Both conditions allow to precisely
control the crack propagation speed and to test the predictions of existing theories. By employing
the new set-up we measure the energy release rate as a function of the crack propagation speed.
We also measure with a high precision infrared camera the increase of temperature at the crack
tip, showing that, notwithstanding the low speed regime considered during the experiments, the
viscoelastic dissipation at the crack tip leads to a measurable temperature increase of about 1◦C},

like tendons in mechanical elbow prostheses. The wire transmission architecture allows two 
linear  actuators  to  control  the  motion  of  the  forearm  along  two  degrees  of  freedom  in  an 
enhanced work volume. The device, indeed, is designed to provide in the same mechanism 
flexion/extension and pronation/supination movement, which are usually decoupled in elbow 
and wrist mechanisms in usual commercial devices.},
