A commentary of Remote everything in MIT Technology Review 2021

Remote technology refers to applications that rely on wireless/wired network communication technology to enable the effective interconnection of multiple terminals distributed in different geographical locations, which helps to achieve effe...

Evolution of prehension ability in an anthropomorphic neurorobotic arm

In this paper, we show how a simulated anthropomorphic robotic arm controlled by an artificial neural network can develop effective reaching and grasping behaviour through a trial and error process in which the free parameters encode the co...

Real-time obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using state-dependent Riccati equation approach

Abstract In this paper, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method-based optimal control technique is applied to a robot. In recent years, issues associated with the robotics have become one of the developing fields of research. Accordi...

Proactive Caching and Forwarding Schemes for Seamless Handover in IEEE WAVE Networks

The IEEE Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) standard consists of the IEEE 802.11p and the IEEE 1609 specifications supporting fast link establishment as well as broadband data communication in vehicular environment. Although t...

The Interactive Effects of Robot Anthropomorphism and Robot Ability on Perceived Threat and Support for Robotics Research

The present research examines how a robot's physical anthropomorphism interacts with perceived ability of robots to impact the level of realistic and identity threat that people perceive from robots and how it affects their support for robo...

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...

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...

Collective Robotics: From Social Insects to Robots

Achieving tasks with multiple robots will require a control system that is both simple and scalable as the number of robots increases. Collective behavior as demonstrated by social insects is a form of decentralized control that may prove u...

Snail-inspired water-enhanced soft sliding suction for climbing robots

Abstract Snails can stably slide across a surface with only a single high-payload sucker, offering an efficient adhesive locomotion mechanism for next-generation climbing robots. The critical factor for snails’ sliding suction behaviour is ...
