This master’s thesis focuses on the implementation of a customized advanced controller for a gantry robot. Using mathematical models and numerical simulations, a Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) was selected. The controller was implemented on a Beckhoff-oriented system and validated on a physical …

Objectives: Simulation is an important learning activity in nursing education. There is little knowledge about dialogue and communication between students and facilitators in a virtual simulation setting. The current study, conducted in Norway, explores the dialogic teaching approaches applied by facilitators …

This research investigates the digital and physical draping of fully-fashioned knit textiles, aiming to address challenges faced by knit manufacturers in achieving accurate virtual prototypes. Through a combination of literature review, case studies, and controlled experiments, methods for creating digital …

We have developed a lesson in which learners interactively construct a qualitative representation about climate change and the decline of biodiversity by using the online software DynaLearn. They are supported by a built-in support function to notice mistakes, and they can run simulations to explore …
