Pneumatic variable stiffness mechanisms for application in lower-limb exoskeletons

Author(s): Luka Mišković (Author), Tadej Petrič (Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Wearable robotics holds promise for enhancing human capabilities and addressing motor challenges in individuals with impairments, amputations, or those who are healthy. Exoskeletons, among various wearable devices, are designed to be worn on the upper or lower limbs. While some applications, like in the medical field, have been widely adopted, …

Predictive exoskeleton control based on probabilistic models

Author(s): Marko Jamšek (Author), Jan Babič (Supervisor)

Year: 2022

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Research and development of exoskeletons for injury prevention and assistance with everyday living has steadily increased in the last decade. With some products already available on the market, a widespread adoption of exoskeletons appears to be within close reach. However, many challenges still remain to be overcome, one of which …

Examining the relationship between managers' commitment to safety, edarship style, and their role in safety important actions in safety critical organisations

Author(s): David Levovnik (Author), Marko Gerbec (Supervisor), Darija Aleksić (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2022

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Managers’ commitment to safety has been recognised as a focal concept that can play an important role as organisations strive to improve safety performance and prevent major accidents (Flin, 2003; Flin & Yule, 2004). When management is committed to safety, this shows employees that safety is an important value to …

Parametrična in neparametrična metoda za nastavljanje parametrov PI/PID regulatorjev za integrirne procese na podlagi amplitudnega optimuma

Author(s): Tomaž Kos (Author), Damir Vrančić (Supervisor)

Year: 2021

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Integrating systems are commonly found in power and paper mills, aerospace control systems, storage tanks, distillation columns, chemical reactors, and petroleum industries. Due to their open-loop instability resulting in an unconstrained output for a constrained input, efficient control of integrating processes is challenging. Control of integrating processes has attracted the …

Uporaba dopolnjene resničnosti in brezžičnih senzorskih omrežij za podporo minimalno invazivni kirurgiji

Author(s): Hugo Correia Duarte Furtado (Author), Roman Trobec (Supervisor), Wolfgang Birkfellner (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2010

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the most promising trends in medicine. Despite of its obvious advantages - the use of small incisions reducing trauma and risk of infection - it still represents a great challenge for the surgeon, as visual guidance and dexterity are severely impaired. In the case …

Monitoring of the product quality in manufacturing industries

Author(s): Jani Kleindienst (Author), Đani Juričić (Supervisor)

Year: 2009

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Unexpected production breakdowns and unpredictable defects in product quality remain critical problems in modern manufacturing systems. Usually occuring by no obvious exterior cause and often during periods of smooth production, they lead to production losses and reduced process availability, which results in lower profit rates. Conventional statistical methods of process …
