- Biomechanical study of the Spider Crab as inspiration for the development of a biomimetic robotPublication . Rynkevic, Rita; Silva, Manuel F.; Marques, M. ArcelinaA problem faced by oil companies is the maintenance of the location register of pipelines that cross the surf zone, the regular survey of their location, and also their inspection. A survey of the state of art did not allow identifying operating systems capable of executing such tasks. Commercial technologies available on the market also do not address this problem and/or do not satisfy the presented requirements. A possible solution is to use robotic systems which have the ability to walk on the shore and in the surf zone, subject to existing currents and ripples, and being able to withstand these ambient conditions. In this sense, the authors propose the development of a spider crab biologically inspired robot to achieve those tasks. Based on these ideas, this work presents a biomechanical study of the spider crab, its modeling and simulation using the SimMechanics toolbox of Matlab/Simulink, which is the first phase of this more vast project. Results show a robot model that is moving in an “animal like” manner, the locomotion, the algorithm presented in this paper allows the crab to walk sideways, in the desired direction.

- Una Federación de Laboratorios Remotos VISIR a través del Proyecto PILARPublication . Kulesza, Wlodek J.; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Marques, M. Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André V.; Hernandéz-Jayo, Unai; García-Zubía, Javier; Kreiter, Christian; Oros, Ramona; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo G.; Auer, Michael E.; García-Hernandéz, Carla; Tavío-Gallo, Ricardo; Savela, Marjo; García-Loro, Felix; Aroca, Alejandro M.; Cristobal-Ruiz, Elio San; Díaz, GabrielEste documento describe cómo un nuevo proyecto Erasmus+, PILAR (Plataform Integration of Laboratories base don the Architecture of visiR), está siendo desarrollado y cómo la puesta en marcha del partenariado y del proyecto está reforzando la red VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) y el Grupo de Interés Especial de VISIR bajo el Consorcio de Laboratorios online (GOLC - Global Online Laboratory Consortium) de la Asociación Internacional de Ingeniería Online (IAOE - International Association of Online Engineering. La Universidad Española para la Educación a Distancia (UNED) coordina este proyecto que tiene como objetivo federar los sistemas existentes (o nuevos) con el fin de utilizar los recursos de manera más efectiva y eficiente, haciendo transparente para el usuario final la elección de los recursos compartidos.
- Using plantar pressures for improving arch support for shoe customizationPublication . Martins, Cátia; Marques, M. Arcelina; Viriato, N.; Vaz, Mário G.The footwear industry is evolving from a laborintensive work to a knowledge-based manufacturing process, developing customized and personalized products in order to meet the customer needs [1]. Pathologies like high arch and flat foot are widely studied and some orthoses have shown positive results in treatment [1, 4]. The objective of this work was to customize the design of a comfort shoe (Arcopédico), so it could be adapted to three major foot types (pes cavus, planus and normal).
