    Optimal Reconfiguration of a Limited Parallel Robot for Forward Singularities Avoidance
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-04-16) Llopis Albert, Carlos; Valero, Francisco; Mata Amela, Vicente; Escarabajal, Rafael J.; Zamora-Ortiz, Pau; Pulloquinga, José L.; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica y de Materiales; Instituto Universitario de Investigación Concertado de Ingeniería Mecánica y Biomecánica; Agencia Estatal de Investigación
    [EN] The positioning of the anchoring points of a Parallel Kinematic Manipulator has an important impact on its later performance. This paper presents an optimization problem to deal with the reconfiguration of a Parallel Kinematic manipulator with four degrees of freedom and the corresponding algorithms to address such problem, with the subsequent test on an actual robot. The cost function minimizes the forces applied by the actuators along the trajectory and considers singular positions and the feasibility of the active generalized coordinates. Results are compared among different algorithms, including evolutionary, heuristics, multi-strategy and gradient-based optimizers.

    Fundamentals of logic, reasoning, and argumentation: an evidence-supported curriculum targeting scientific literacy to increase public understanding and engagement in science
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-04-16) Carroll, La Shun L.
    [EN] The purpose of this article is to present an evidence-supported curriculum covering the fundamentals of logic, reasoning, and argumentation skills to address the emphasized basic knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be scientifically literate, which will prepare the public to understand and engage with science meaningfully. An analytic-synthetic approach toward understanding the notion of public is taken using a theoretical biomimetics framework that identifies naturally occurring objects or phenomena that descriptively captures the essence of a construct to facilitate creative problemsolving. In the present case, the problem being solved is how to reconcile what is meant by public, how it ought to be interpreted, determining the diverse levels of confidence in science that exist, and various understandings of science all with one another. The results demonstrate there is an inherent denotative-connotative inconsistency in the traditional notion of public that can be explicated through the concept of a fractal allowing for comprehension of the relationship between public confidence in, and understanding of, science.

    The influence and benefits of technology as a strategy in organizations
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-04-16) Vargas-Hernánez, José G.; Alcántara Salcedo, María Teresa
    [EN] The article presents a description of "The Influence and Benefits of Technology as a Strategy in Organizations." Technology is considered as a competitive advantage, which allows organizations to benefit, this technology means that these companies can maintain themselves and acquire a position interesting within the market, now organizations are interested in the acquisition of technology, this acquisition takes value because of the economic importance that can come from having the best technology within the organization. The document presents information about technology as a key strategy, which can help companies to create a competitive advantage within the market.
