Article Abstract

This paper presents a method to include unmodeled dynamics of load or a robot's end-effector into algorithms for collision detection or general understanding of a robot's operation context. The approach relies on the application of a previously developed modification of the Dynamic Time Warping algorithm, as well as a universally applicable algorithm for identifying kinematic parameters. The entire process can be applied to arbitrary robot configuration, and it does not require identification of dynamic parameters. The paper addresses the two main categories of contact tasks with unmodelled dynamics, which are determined based on whether the external contact force has a consistent profile in the end effector or base coordinate. Conclusions for representative examples analysed in the paper are applicable to tasks such as load manipulation, press bending, and crimping for the first type of forces and applications such as drilling, screwdriving, snap-fit, bolting, and riveting assembly for the latter category. The results presented in the paper are based on realistic testing with measurements obtained from an industrial robot.

"The biggest challenge is there's never a routine": a qualitative study of the time burdens of cancer care at home.

Support Care Cancer

January 2025

Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Transplantation, University of Minnesota, 516 Delaware Street SE, MMC 480, PWB 14-100, Minneapolis, MN, 55455, USA.

Purpose: As cancer care is increasingly delivered in the home, more tasks and responsibilities fall on patients and their informal care partners. These time costs can present significant mental, physical, and financial burdens, and are undercounted in current measures of time toxicity that only consider care received in formal healthcare settings.

Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with patients with gastrointestinal cancer and informal care partners at a single tertiary cancer center between March and October 2023.

Background: We aimed to synthesize the kinematics and kinetics during landing and walking/running tasks of ankle copers compared with patients with chronic ankle instability and controls.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Tri-planar lower extremity biomechanics (joint angle and moment at maximum and initial contact, and joint displacement) were synthesized using standard mean difference and 95 % confidence intervals.

Background: Mission Controllers (MCs) are the main point of contact for space crews and are vital for successful human spaceflight. On a mission to Mars, there will be as long as 22-min one-way communication delays between the ground and the crew, causing major changes to current communication infrastructures.

Methods: This exploratory study assessed the impact of a 20-min one-way communication delay on MCs' task performance, workload, and stress levels under nominal and off-nominal conditions, conducted during a 21-d analog mission.

Bionic Modeling Study on the Landing Mechanism of Flapping Wing Robot Based on the Thoracic Legs of Purple Stem Beetle, .

Biomimetics (Basel)

January 2025

Robotics and Microsystems Center, College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Soochow University, Suzhou 215021, China.

Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) are recognized for their significant potential in military and civilian applications, such as military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and disaster rescue. However, the lack of takeoff and landing capabilities, particularly in landing behavior, greatly limits their adaptability to the environment during tasks. In this paper, the purple stem beetle (), a natural flying insect, was chosen as the bionic research object.

Packed columns are commonly used in post-combustion processes to capture CO emissions by providing enhanced contact area between a CO-laden gas and CO-absorbing solvent. To study and optimize solvent-based post-combustion carbon capture systems (CCSs), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to model the liquid-gas countercurrent flow hydrodynamics in these columns and derive key determinants of CO-capture efficiency. However, the large design space of these systems hinders the application of CFD for design optimization due to its high computational cost.
