Living organisms such as microorganisms, plants or animals in their natural habitat have a great potential for the protection of atmospheric air. Since many of living organisms demonstrate bioindication and/or bioaccumulation abilities, they can be employed for biomonitoring of …
The chapter presents a new reconfigurable wide-beam radio interferometer system for analysing planetary atmospheres. The system operates at frequencies, where the ionisation of the planetary plasma regions induces strong attenuation. For Earth, the attenuation is undistinguishab…
Ozone Pollution and its Bioindication
by Vanda Villanyi, Boris Turk, Franc Batic, Zsolt Csintalan
The presented system constitutes a versatile, flexible, cheap, high-speed digital data acquisition system that combined with LabView software give the possibility to easily monitoring the environmental parameters. They are many applications where the system can be used like: tox…
A discharge with pulse duration of 100 ns, the general pulsed streamer discharge, shows two discharge phases: a streamer discharge which initiates in the vicinity of the central electrode and propagates toward the outer electrode; and a glow-like discharge which is generated aft…
The AI techniques which are used as UAP forecasting tool can give clear and intuitive results. It is because air quality time series contains complex linear and non-linear patterns, and most methodologies cannot be used on non-linear patterns except AI techniques methodologies (…

The modular reconfiguration robot has the ability of changing its configuration which makes it more suitable for complex environments. In contrast to conventional theoretical research, the project introduced in this paper successfully completes the following innovative work. a) …
Hybrid Parallel Robot for the Assembling of ITER
by Huapeng Wu, Heikki Handroos, Pekka Pessi
A hybrid parallel robot with four additional serial motion axes is developed for carrying out the necessary machining and welding tasks in the assembling and repairing of the ITER Vacuum Vessel. The robot is capable of holding all necessary machining tools and welding end-effect…
The fundamental guidelines for genetic algorithm to optimal design of micro parallel robots have been introduced. It is concluded that with three basic generators selection, crossover and mutation genetic algorithm could search the optimum solution or near-optimal solution to a …
The contribution describes a general method for kinematic modeling of many wide-spread parallel kinematic machines, i.e. for the Stewart-Gough-platform, the Delta-robot, and Linaglide machines. The kinetostatic method is applied for a comprehensive kinematic analysis of these ma…
The research presented in this chapter establishes the CPM as a viable robotic device for three degrees of freedom manipulation. The manipulator offers the advantages associated with other parallel manipulators, such as light weight construction; while avoiding some of the tradi…
This chapter addresses the solution of the direct position analysis (DPA) of parallel manipulators. More specifically, it focuses on the determination of the actual configuration of parallel manipulators, which have legs of type UPS (where U, S and P are for universal, spherical…
