Industrial robot manipulators are general-purpose machines used for industrial automation in order to increase productivity, flexibility, and quality. Other reasons for using industrial robots are cost saving, and elimination of heavy and health-hazardous work. Robot motion control is a key competence for robot manufacturers, and the current development is focused on increasing the robot perfor...

Revisiting Inter-Industry Wage Differentials and the Gender Wage Gap: An Identification Problem We propose a measure of the industrial gender wage gap which is free from an identification problem by using inter-industry wage differentials, or industrial wage premia. We draw on a recent literature showing that a normalized regression equation can be used to resolve the identification problem in ...

In many industrial experiments involving lifetimes of machines or units, experiments have to be terminated early or the number of experiments must be limited due to a variety of circumstances (e.g. when expensive, etc.) the samples that arise from such experiments are called censored data. Cohen (1991) was one of the earliest to study a more general censoring scheme called progressive censor...

The digitalization of industrial control systems (ICS) raises several security threats that can endanger the safety of the critical infrastructures supervised by such systems. This paper presents an analysis method that enables the identification and ranking of risks leading to a safety issue, regardless of the origin of those risks: accidental or due to malevolence. This method relies on a mod...
