Triangular Geometrized Sampling Heuristics for Fast Optimal Motion Planning

Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT)-based algorithms have become increasingly popular due to their lower computational complexity as compared with other path planning algorithms. The recently presented RRT * motion planning algorithm improv...

Promoting inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics: Addressing challenges for pediatric access

Pediatric access to exoskeletons lags far behind that of adults. In this article, we promote inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics by identifying and addressing challenges and barriers to pediatric access to this potentially life-changing t...

Multigait soft robot

This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot: A soft robot, composed exclusively of soft materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals (e.g., squid, starfish, worms) that do not have hard internal skeletons....

Developmental Robotics

A comprehensive overview of an interdisciplinary approach to robotics that takes direct inspiration from the developmental and learning phenomena observed in children's cognitive development. Developmental robotics is a collaborative and in...

Science for robotics and robotics for science

has been launched to cover the most important advances in the development and application of robots, with interest in hardware and software as well as social interactions and implications....

A history of robots: from science fiction to surgical robotics

Robotic surgery

BACKGROUND: Proficiency in minimally invasive surgery requires intensive and continuous training, as it is technically challenging for unnatural visual and haptic perceptions. Robotic and computer sciences are producing innovations to augme...

Design and modelling of an anisotropic continuum robot end-effector for single-port access surgery suturing

Single port access surgery has brought many advantages and new challenges to the field of minimally invasive surgery. In principle, many of these challenges can be addressed through robotics. Continuum robots in particular have seen a surge...

Boosting precision crop protection towards agriculture 5.0 via machine learning and emerging technologies: A contextual review

Crop protection is a key activity for the sustainability and feasibility of agriculture in a current context of climate change, which is causing the destabilization of agricultural practices and an increase in the incidence of current or in...

Remodeling of Endothelial Cell Nucleus Exposed to Three Different Mechanical Stimuli

Cell Nuclei play a critical role in controlling gene expression and replicating DNA, and is known to deform in association with cell shape changes in response to external forces. This study dealed with morphological analysis to quantitative...

VR-Based Teleoperation Framework: Integration of Haptic Feedback and Singularity Management

This study presents a VR-based teleoperation framework enhancing collaborative robot stability and manipulability via hand-tracking, adaptive control, and dual-modality haptic feedback. It addresses critical synchronization challenges (sing...

Experimental Analysis of Consolidated Material Flow througha Roller Press with a Non -Symmetrical Compaction Unit

One of the essential aspects of the operation of roller presses is the proper transfer of feed in the feeder. It hasa significant influence on the correct course of the compaction and consolidation process, the product quality, and the inte...

Robotics in Remote and Hostile Environments

In our continuing quest for knowledge, robots are powerful tools for accessing environments too dangerous or too remote for human exploration. Early systems functioned under close human supervision, effectively limited to executing preprogr...

Persuasive Robotics: The influence of robot gender on human behavior

Persuasive Robotics is the study of persuasion as it applies to human-robot interaction (HRI). Persuasion can be generally defined as an attempt to change another's beliefs or behavior. The act of influencing others is fundamental to nearly...

Sensor Fusion and Autonomy as a Powerful Combination for Biological Assessment in the Marine Environment

The ocean environment and the physical and biological processes that govern dynamics are complex. Sampling the ocean to better understand these processes is difficult given the temporal and spatial domains and sampling tools available. Biol...
