This article presents an approach to solve the inverse kinematics of cooperative mobile manipulators for coordinate manipulation tasks. A self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm is used to solve the inverse kinematics as a global constrained optimization problem. A kinematics model of the cooperative mobile manipulators system is proposed, considering a system with two omnidirectional platform manipulators with n DOF. An objective function is formulated based on the forward kinematics equations. Consequently, the proposed approach does not suffer from singularities because it does not require the inversion of any Jacobian matrix. The design of the objective function also contains penalty functions to handle the joint limits constraints. Simulation experiments are performed to test the proposed approach for solving coordinate path tracking tasks. The solutions of the inverse kinematics show precise and accurate results. The experimental setup considers two mobile manipulators based on the KUKA Youbot system to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.

The body structures and motion stability of worm-like and snake-like robots have garnered significant research interest. Recently, innovative serial-parallel hybrid segmented robots have emerged as a fundamental platform for a wide range of motion modes. To address the hyper-redundancy characteristics of these hybrid structures, we propose a novel caterpillar-inspired Stable Segment Update (SSU) gait generation approach, establishing a unified framework for multi-segment robot gait generation.

Inverse kinematics, crucial in robotics, involves computing joint configurations to achieve specific end-effector positions and orientations. This task is particularly complex for six-degree-of-freedom (six-DoF) anthropomorphic robots due to complicated mathematical equations, nonlinear behaviours, multiple valid solutions, physical constraints, non-generalizability and computational demands. The primary contribution of this work is to address the complex inverse kinematics problem for six-DoF anthropomorphic robots through the systematic exploration of AI models.

In Colombia, approximately more than 500.000 people have disabling hearing loss, representing around 1% of the population in Colombia, and only 400 professional interpreters of Colombian Sign Language (LSC) are available in the whole country. In this data descriptor, we present a dataset with recordings of Colombian Sign Language (LSC) as an important effort to develop technologies that facilitate social inclusion and equity for the deaf community in Colombia.

Active curling of epithelial tissues, as an indispensable component of developmental morphogenesis, occurs frequently both in vivo and in vitro microenvironments. Deciphering the mechanisms underlying the active curling of epithelial monolayers is crucial for understanding many physiological and pathological processes. Here, a multiscale structure-based cell monolayer model and an active constitutive relation are established to characterize this spontaneous curling of the epithelial tissue.

Objective: Due to the limited operating space in the magnetic resonance (MR) environment, there is coupled motion in the insertion mechanism, which not only reduces the flexibility of the robot but also challenges the insertion path planning. Meanwhile, the path planning is also restricted by the bending rule of the flexible needle, thus the bending model of the needle is also essentially built.

Approach: This paper proposes a path planner for the flexible needle based on both the coupled motion kinematics of the insertion robot and the bending model of the flexible needle.
