The article is devoted to the study of drying process of list material under the action of high-intensity ultrasonic vibrations. The advantages of ultrasonic drying and possibility of its practical realization are described in the article. The ultrasonic drier applied in practice of ultrasonic drying of list materials was proposed and developed.
The measurement of the efficiency of power electronics converters is a special challenge, because it is difficult to perform it accurately using electrical methods (especially in the high efficiency range or in low po...

The Eurobot contest is an international robot building competition. This paper presents an autonomous robot mechanical and electric design built to Eurobot 2011 robotics contest. The robot collects the playing elements, builds towers and avoid collision with the opponent robot. The building process, the control and vision algorithms are also presented. We specify the used absolute (ultrasonic sonar) and relative (odometry) positioning methods, and we describe their advantages and disadvantages. The hardware and software architecture, navigation algorithms are also presented. This paper focuses on the educational aspects of the project. We demonstrate how our team collaborates, and how the tasks were assigned to them in order to comply their thesis.

The goal of parametric system identification is to provide estimates for parameters of a certain model structure based on given measurement data. This problem can always be presented as an optimization problem with an appropriate choice of cost and constraint functions. Apart from the simplest cases the resulting optimization problems are nonconvex with multiple local minima. Due to the existence of these, usually there are no guaranties that the model resulting from a given identification method is a global minimizer. This paper applies semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation techniques to the optimization problem arising in time domain identification. From the solution of the defined sequence of SDPs a sequence of system models can be extracted that converges to the globally optimal system model. We give a short overview of the SDP relaxation technique for polynomial optimization problems (POP), then this technique is applied to the identification problem. The properties of the resulting POP are examined in detail. The solutions of the SDP sequence usually converge to the optimizer only in the limit. Model structures where finite convergence occurs and issues regarding detecting finite convergence are also considered.

This paper presents the RobonAUT contest organized by the budapestuniversity of technology and economics, department of automation and appliedinformatics. The contest aims to support the education of control theory, embedded system design and several other courses related to building autonomous mobile robots in a fun and instructive teamwork project. Students are required to build autonomous four-wheel robots capable to go along a path indicated by a continuous line on the ground, and to perform several tasks along the way. These tasks involve obstacle avoidance, parking operations, passing slopes, and acceleration segments. 3 students work together in a team during the semester to build their robot, for which they need skills related to control theory, both analog and digital circuit design, and microcontroller programming. The task has a very strong integrating nature by utilizing the material of several courses of electrical engineering. Beside the motivating fact that building an own robot is fun, we believe that students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to solve a real-world engineering task. And based on the popularity of the challenge, students seem to realize the need for this practice as well. This paper is aimed to describe the history, rules and experiences of the challenges in 2010 and 2011, together with the plans of the 2012 challenge.
Despite the increasing capabilities and effectiveness of highly autonomous robots, there are still situations where one entity is not sufficient. Escorting and tracking are typical situations, where more robots can be...
