Precision Robot Calibration Using Kinematically Placed Inclinometers
(2002-09-17)
In the field of industrial robotics, many different calibration methods exist to reduce error in the
robot system. Locating the manipulator home position is a common calibration technique, which
can be divided into three ...
Analyzing Multiple Product Development Projects Based On Information and Resource Constraints
(2002-09-17)
Product development (PD) and engineering design processes are often characterized by the
information flowing among activities. In PD, this flow forms a complex activity weba process
that can be viewed as a complex system. ...
Performance of Coupled Product Development Activities with a Deadline
(2002-09-17)
This paper explores the performance of coupled development tasks subject to a deadline constraint
by proposing a performance generation model (PGM). The goal of the PGM is to develop insights
about optimal strategies ...
Assessment of Rework Probabilities for Simulating Product Development Processes Using the Design Structure Matrix (DSM)
(2001-09-09)
This paper uses the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to
model and simulate the performance of development processes.
Though the simulation is a powerful tool for analyzing process
performance, its ability is limited by the ...
A Statistical Model of Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Consumption
(2002-09-17)
Many vehicle emission models are overly simple, such
as the speed dependent models used widely, and other models are
sufficiently complicated as to require excessive inputs and
calculations, which can slow down computational ...
A Statistical Model of Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Consumption
(2002-09-17)
A number of vehicle emission models are overly simple, such as static speed-dependent models widely used in
practice, and other models are sophisticated as to require excessive inputs and calculations, which can slow
down ...
Agents to the Rescue?
(1999)
The advent of electronic environments is bound to have profound effects on consumer decision making. While the
exact nature of these influences is only partially known it is clear that consumers could benefit from ...
Do-It-Right-First-Time (Draft) Approach To Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Restructuring
(2002-09-17)
This paper argues, using two real-world applications from
the automotive industry, that the biggest benefit of a Design
Structure Matrix (DSM) model may come not from resequencing
and partitioning, but rather from ...
Modeling Traffic Flow Emissions
(2002-09-17)
The main topic of this thesis is the development of light-duty vehicle dynamic emission models and their integration with dynamic traffic models. Combined, these models
constitute fundamental components to support ...
