Efficient Edge-Based Image Interpolation Method Using Neighboring Slope Information

This paper presents an image interpolation method that provides superior performance with low complexity. Applying a simple linear method achieves time-efficient interpolation, but often produces artifacts; however, applying other complex m...

Corrigendum to “A Wearable Robotic Device Based on Twisted String Actuation for Rehabilitation and Assistive Applications”

An Efficient Stochastic Constrained Path Planner for Redundant Manipulators

This brief proposes a novel stochastic method that exploits the particular kinematics of mechanisms with redundant actuation and a well-known manipulability measure to track the desired end-effector task-space motion in an efficient manner....

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

A Real-Time Distance Measurement System for a Digital Twin Using Mixed Reality Goggles

This paper presents a new system architecture for controlling industrial devices using Mixed Reality (MR) applications and a new method based upon them for measuring the distance between real and virtual points. The research has been carrie...

YOLOv11n-GrapeLite: A Lightweight Multi-Variety Grape Recognition Model

To address the challenges of rapid and accurate grape variety identification in natural orchard environments, along with the demand for efficient deployment on mobile devices, we propose in this paper YOLOv11n-GrapeLite, a lightweight model...

Novel Blended Learning on Artificial Intelligence for Medical Students: Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly relevant in everyday clinical practice, with Food and Drug Administration–approved AI solutions now available in many specialties. This developmen...

Computation offloading and information freshness in edge-assisted networked robotic systems

Camera-based wireless networked control systems must move visual information across a shared wireless link before a command can be applied, so the placement of the perception computation fixes both the communication load and the freshness o...

I Can See It in Your Eyes: Gaze as an Implicit Cue of Uncanniness and Task Performance in Repeated Interactions With Robots

Over the past years, extensive research has been dedicated to developing robust platforms and data-driven dialog models to support long-term human-robot interactions. However, little is known about how people's perception of robots and enga...

Multisensor Fire Detection System Mobile Robot as a Learning Media in Firefighting Robotic Course

Firefighting Robotic technology has been used for a long time to achieve aviation safety and security goals. The research is deemed necessary because of some related issues: 1) A pressing need for lecturers and students to have access to le...

Benchmarking spiking neurons for linear quadratic regulator control of multi-linked pole on a cart: from single neuron to ensemble

The emerging field of neuromorphic computing for edge control applications poses the need to quantitatively estimate and limit the number of spiking neurons, to reduce network complexity and optimize the number of neurons per core and hence...

Theoretical framework of the neuro and psychomotor therapist for developmental age: an Italian perspective for paediatric rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities

PurposeThe rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities is a complex process aimed at enhancing children’s functional abilities, minimizing the impact of disabilities on family dynamics, and promoting autonomy in daily life. Although s...
