All my efforts in this area were done in cooperation with my master and Ph.D. student Gabriel Afonso. He was certainly the brightest and one of the most dedicated persons I had the opportunity to guide. We have designed and built several systems together for the Cutlery Industry and planed to do several others… since he suddenly passed away (August 2012), I just didn’t had the courage or the motivation to work in this area again.
