These systems are typically used for cutting, welding, marking or for pick-and-place applications.

The faults are considered to be &#8220;small&#8221; in the sense that the system trajectories in the faulty mode always remain close to those in the normal mode, and the magnitude of fault can be smaller than that of [&hellip;]<\/span><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/aaaa\/\"><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/aaaa\/\">A Low-cost Spectral Camera for Online Vegetation and Water Identification<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">In general, each material reflects a different percentage of electro-magnetic (EM) radiation in each wavelength. By plotting those values with respect to the wavelength, it is possible to obtain what is called the &#8220;reflectance&#8221; of the inspected material. The reflectance is unique for each material and constitutes what can be considered a sort of spectral [&hellip;]<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4861,"featured_media":0,"parent":46,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-112","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4861"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1019,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112\/revisions\/1019"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
