On the 15th of November 2019, a delegation of colleagues from the Dept. of Mechanical, Electronic and Chemical Engineering at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) visited the Dept. of Engineering Sciences, University of Agder (UiA), Grimstad. This was a good opportunity to initiate synergies between universities within the field of mechatronics.

To achieve ROS integration with stand-alone Gazebo, the following steps may be followed.

This project aims to develop new methods and tools to control snake robots for use in challenging real-life operations, in earthquake-hit areas, pipe inspection for oil and gas industry, fire-fighting operations and search and rescue. The research team is composed of some members from the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, NTNU, including Associate Professor Øyvind Stavdahl, Research Scientist Pål Liljebäck and Postdoctoral Fellow Filippo Sanfilippo. Other members of the research team are

On behalf of Aalesund University College, I recently attended the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE 2015), Halifax, Canada. I joined the conference in order to present the following article: Filippo Sanfilippo, Lars Ivar Hatledal, Houxiang Zhang, Webjørn Rekdalsbakken and Kristin Ytterstad Pettersen. A Wave Simulator and Active Heave Compensation Framework for Demanding Offshore Crane Operations. In Proceeding of the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical a

This prize is not mine. I dedicate it to my hardworking students from the Real-Time Computer Programming course of the BSc Program in Automation Engineering, Department of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Aalesund University College. Third Prize at the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE 2015), ocean paper poster competition.
