In mobile robotics, LASER scanners have a wide spectrum of indoor and outdoor applications, both in structured and unstructured environments, due to their accuracy and precision. Most works that use this sensor have their own data representation and their own case-specific modeling strategies, and no …

Autonomous freight transport is becoming an increasingly relevant topic in transport and logistics. Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (or MASS) can sail to varying degrees of autonomy, making “smart” shipping possible and sailing with fewer or even full crew members. MASS is intended to enable shipping …

De PZH neemt aan dat er een tekort is aan IT’ers werkzaam bij het mkb. Dit onderzoek beschouwt in welke mate deze veronderstelling klopt binnen het mkb in de bouw- en maakindustrie. Er wordt zowel gekeken naar het aantal IT’ers als naar specifieke IT-vaardigheden. Dit rapport is tot stand gekomen op …
