A Robot-Driven 3D Shape Measurement System for Automatic Quality Inspection of Thermal Objects on a Forging Production Line

The three-dimensional (3D) geometric evaluation of large thermal forging parts online is critical to quality control and energy conservation.However, this online 3D measurement task is extremely challenging for commercially available 3D sensors because of the enormous amount of heat radiation and complexity of the online environment.To this end, an

Animal interactions and the emergence of territoriality.

Inferring the role of interactions in territorial animals relies upon accurate recordings of the behaviour of neighbouring individuals.Such accurate recordings are rarely available from field studies.As a result, quantification of the interaction mechanisms has often relied upon theoretical approaches, which hitherto have been limited to comparison
