The dimension synthesis problem for parallel robots in general is much more complex than their serial counterparts, due to the strong dependence of geometric parameters and their performances. In dimension synthesis for robots, typical performance characteristics that may be considered to...

The current massive surge of digital data, measurements and new forms of (algorithmic) valuation affects emergency situations (both natural and human-made crises) and emergency management systems. By introducing 'big crisis data', the very concepts of emergency and crisis rely heavily on the...

We present a three sector OLG model with a homogenous output good that is produced with traditional or robot technology. The traditional sector produces with labor and capital, whereas the modern sector employs robots instead of labor. We find that little can prevent the ascent of a modern...
