      Ferrari, Matteo; Senajova, Dominika; Aberle, O.; Aguiar, Ygor; Baillard, D.; Barbagallo, Massimo; Bernardes, Ana-Paula; Buonocore, Luca Rosario; Cecchetto, Matteo; Clerc, Vincent; Di Castro, Mario; Garcia Alia, Ruben; Girod, Sylvain; Grenard, Jean-Louis; Kershaw, Keith; Lerner, Giuseppe; Maeder, Manuel; Makovec, Alajos; Mengoni, Alberto; Pérez Ornedo, María; Pozzi, Fabio; Veiga Almagro, Carlos; Calviani, Marco American Physical Society (2022-10-20)
      A new parasitic, mixed-field, neutron-dominated irradiation station has been recently commissioned at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The station is installed within the neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) ...
    • openAccess   (MARGOT) Monocular Camera-Based Robot Grasping Strategy for Metallic Objects 

      Veiga Almagro, Carlos; Munoz, Renato; García González, Álvaro; Matheson, Eloise; Marin, Raul; Di Castro, Mario; FERRE PEREZ, MANUEL MDPI (2023-06-05)
      Robotic handling of objects is not always a trivial assignment, even in teleoperation where, in most cases, this might lead to stressful labor for operators. To reduce the task difficulty, supervised motions could be ...
