Evolutionary robotics

The robotics primer

The Robotics Primer offers a broadly accessible introduction to robotics for students at pre-university and university levels, robot hobbyists, and anyone interested in this burgeoning field. The text takes the reader from the most basic co...

Anthropomorphic Interactions with a Robot and Robot–like Agent

People's physical embodiment and presence increase their salience and importance. We predicted people would anthropomorphize an embodied humanoid robot more than a robot–like agent, and a collocated more than a remote robot. A robot or robo...

Socially assistive robotics [Grand Challenges of Robotics]

Socially intelligent robotics is the pursuit of creating robots capable of exhibiting natural-appearing social qualities. Beyond the basic capabilities of moving and acting autonomously, the field has focused on the use of the robot's physi...

Fundamentals of Robotics : Analysis and Control

From the Publisher: A complete overview of the fundamentals of robotics. Case study examples of educational, industrial and generic robots are discussed. Class demonstration software is provided with the laboratory manual. (vs. Craig, Fu, ...

Parallel Robots

Performance and Energy Consumption Analysis for UWSNs with Priority Scheduling Based on Access Probability and Wakeup Threshold

As advancements in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology unfold, the role of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is becoming increasingly pivotal. However, the high energy consumption in these networks can significantly red...

Virtual Reality-Based Center of Mass-Assisted Personalized Balance Training System

Poststroke hemiplegic patients often show altered weight distribution with balance disorders, increasing their risk of fall. Conventional balance training, though powerful, suffers from scarcity of trained therapists, frequent visits to cli...

Innovations in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a review of clinical evidence and patient-reported outcomes for ExoTMS

IntroductionTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders. ExoTMS represents an evolution in TMS system des...

Generalized Task‐Driven Design of Soft Robots via Reduced‐Order Finite Element Method‐Based Surrogate Modeling

Task‐driven design of soft robots requires models that are physically accurate and computationally efficient, while remaining transferable across actuator designs and task scenarios. However, existing modeling approaches typically face a fu...

Cascaded Dual-Observer-Based Decoupled Estimation of Mass and Track Gradient for Permanent-Magnet-Driven Electric Monorail Cranes

Precise data regarding the overall mass of the machinery and the gradient of the track are crucial for optimizing the control of monorail cranes and enhancing energy efficiency. Within the context of electric monorail cranes (EMCs), accurat...

Multidirectional Cylindrical Piezoelectric Force Sensor: Design and Experimental Validation

A common design concept of the piezoelectric force sensor, which is to assemble a bump structure from a flat or fine columnar piezoelectric structure or to use a specific type of electrode, is quite limited. In this paper, we propose a new ...

Robotont 3–an accessible 3D-printable ROS-supported open-source mobile robot for education and research

Educational robots offer a platform for training aspiring engineers and building trust in technology that is envisioned to shape how we work and live. In education, accessibility and modularity are significant in the choice of such a techno...

Progress in Bioinspired Dry and Wet Gradient Materials from Design Principles to Engineering Applications

Summary: Nature does nothing in vain. Through millions of years of revolution, living organisms have evolved hierarchical and anisotropic structures to maximize their survival in complex and dynamic environments. Many of these structures ar...
