Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that is based on the inelastic scattering of light. It is non-invasive, fast, objective and easy to use. These traits make it an ideal tool for use in medical diagnosis. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Currently, melanomas are visually diagnosed …

The use of robots as educational tools provides a stimulating environment for students. Some robotics competitions focus on primary and secondary school aged children, and serve as motivation for students to get involved in educational robotics activities.

This paper presents a multi-layer scheme to control a formation of three mobile robots. Each layer works as an independent module, dealing with a specific part of the problem of formation control, thus giving to the system more flexibility. In order to reduce formation errors, the proposed architecture …
