Robotic wrists play a pivotal role in the functionality of industrial manipulators and humanoid robots, facilitating manipulation and grasping tasks. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in integrating artificial muscle-driven actuators for robotic wrists, driven by advancements in technology offering high energy density, lightweight construction, and compact designs. However, in the study of robotic wrists driven by artificial muscles, dynamic model-based controllers are often overlooked, despite their critical importance for motion analysis and dynamic control of robots. This paper presents a novel design of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) robotic wrist driven by twisted and coiled actuators (TCA) utilizing a parallel mechanism with a 3RRRR configuration. The proposed robotic wrist is expected to feature lightweight structures and superior motion performance while mitigating friction issues. The Lagrangian dynamic model of the wrist is established, along with a nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) designed for trajectory tracking tasks. A prototype of the robotic wrist is developed, and extensive experiments are conducted to validate its superior motion performance and the proposed dynamic model. Subsequently, extensive comparative experiments between NMPC and PID controller were conducted under various operating conditions. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the dynamic model-based controller in the motion control of TCA-driven robotic wrists. Copyright © 2025, The Authors.

Many application from the bee colony health state monitoring could be efficiently solved using a computer vision techniques. One of such challenges is an efficient way for counting the number of incoming and outcoming bees, which could be used to further analyse many trends, such as the bee colony health state, blooming periods, or for investigating the effects of agricultural spraying. In this paper, we compare three methods for the automated bee counting over two own datasets. The best performing method is based on the ResNet-50 convolutional neural network classifier, which achieved accuracy of 87% over the BUT1 dataset and the accuracy of 93% over the BUT2 dataset. © 2024, CC BY.

Perspiration is a physiological response in high-stress situations, that also plays a key role in thermoregulation and stress management. Understanding perspiration patterns is used for assessing physiological responses and optimizing human performance especially in professions such as emergency medical services and military operations, as well as for individuals exposed to Isolated Confined Extreme (ICE) environments such as astronauts and space analog mission participants. This paper defines a Digital Twin (DT) model, that will be integrated with an existing physical sweat simulator module (SSM) prototype. Its goal is to simulate human perspiration under high-stress conditions by integrating environmental, physiological, and psychological data. The system architecture is developed via Model-Based Systems engineering (MBSE). The scope of the designed virtual model is to accurately reflect physical perspiration, detect abnormal perspiration patterns, and generate recommendations regarding stress countermeasures. The goal is to influence the behavioral and/or physiological state of the physical twin, thereby creating a dynamic, responsive system. Machine learning (ML) models will be used to identify patterns in the environmental, physiological, and psychological inputs and predict sweat volume, chemical composition, and regional sweat distributions across the body. ML will also be used to detect abnormal perspiration patterns based on input data. The application of generative AI for creating test data from simulation templates is anticipated to facilitate the comparative analysis of two to three distinct profiles, such as astronauts, soldiers, and paramedics or firefighters, using simulated values. The SSM, with its integrated sensors, will serve the dual purpose of validating the model and providing realistic physical simulation. © 2024 IEEE.

This study presents the conflict-aware multi-agent estimated time of arrival (CAMETA) framework, a novel approach for predicting the arrival times of multiple agents in unstructured environments without predefined road infrastructure. The CAMETA framework consists of three components: a path planning layer generating potential path suggestions, a multi-agent ETA prediction layer predicting the arrival times for all agents based on the paths, and lastly, a path selection layer that calculates the accumulated cost and selects the best path. The novelty of the CAMETA framework lies in the heterogeneous map representation and the heterogeneous graph neural network architecture. As a result of the proposed novel structure, CAMETA improves the generalization capability compared to the state-of-the-art methods that rely on structured road infrastructure and historical data. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the multi-agent ETA prediction layer, with a mean average percentage error improvement of 29.5% and 44% when compared to a traditional path planning method (A *) which does not consider conflicts. The performance of the CAMETA framework shows significant improvements in terms of robustness to noise and conflicts as well as determining proficient routes compared to state-of-the-art multi-agent path planners.

This paper proposes PredictiveSLAM, a novel extension to ORB-SLAM2, which extracts features from specific regions of interest (ROI). The proposed method was designed with the risk posed both to humans and robotic systems in large-scale industrial sites in mind. The ROI are determined through an object detection network trained to detect moving human beings. The method detects and removes humans from feature extraction, predicting their potential future trajectory. This is done by omitting a specific ROI from extraction, deemed to be occluded in consecutive time steps. Two masking methods -static object and moving object trajectories - are proposed. This approach improves tracking accuracy and the performance of SLAM by removing the dynamic features from the reference for tracking and loop closures. The method is tested on data collected in a laboratory environment and compared against a state-of-the-art ground truth system. The validation data was collected from real-time experiments which aimed at simulating the typical human worker behaviours in industrial environments using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This study illustrates the advantages of the proposed method over earlier approaches, even with a highly dynamic camera setup on a UAV working in challenging environments.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience deficits in verbal and nonverbal communication skills including motor control, turn-taking, and emotion recognition. Innovative technology, such as socially assistive robots, has shown to be a viable method for Autism therapy. This paper presents a novel robot-based music-therapy platform for modeling and improving the social responses and behaviors of children with ASD. Our autonomous social interactive system consists of three modules. Module 1 provides an autonomous initiative positioning system for the robot, NAO, to properly localize and play the instrument (Xylophone) using the robot's arms. Module 2 allows NAO to play customized songs composed by individuals. Module 3 provides a real-life music therapy experience to the users. We adopted Short-time Fourier Transform and Levenshtein distance to fulfill the design requirements: a)"music detection" and b)"smart scoring and feedback", which allows NAO to understand music and provide additional practice and oral feedback to the users as applicable. We designed and implemented six Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) sessions including four intervention sessions. Nine children with ASD and seven Typically Developing participated in a total of fifty HRI experimental sessions. Using our platform, we collected and analyzed data on social behavioral changes and emotion recognition using Electrodermal Activity (EDA) signals. The results of our experiments demonstrate most of the participants were able to complete motor control tasks with 70% accuracy. Six out of the 9 ASD participants showed stable turn-taking behavior when playing music. The results of automated emotion classification using Support Vector Machines illustrates that emotional arousal in the ASD group can be detected and well recognized via EDA bio-signals. In summary, the results of our data analyses, including emotion classification using EDA signals, indicate that the proposed robot-music based therapy p

Infrared thermography is a condition monitoring technique that, from a measurement of the radiant heat pattern emitted by a material, is able to determine regions or points of increased or reduced heat emission that can indicate the presence of an imperfection in the investigated material. The result of an infrared thermographic investigation is a sequence of thermograms or thermal images, in other words a picture of temperature, that can be further processed for qualitative and quantitative purposes. Such images can be presented in either false color or black and white format. In the present work, the philosophy and history of thermal–infrared imaging are reviewed. Moreover, the different evaluation approaches (passive and active), as well as many standards related to infrared thermography are discussed. Finally, various applications of the transient thermography approach are briefly presented. © 2023 SPIE.

In this article, a novel approach for merging 3D point cloud maps in the context of egocentric multi-robot exploration is presented. Unlike traditional methods, the proposed approach leverages state-of-the-art place recognition and learned descriptors to efficiently detect overlap between maps, eliminating the need for the time-consuming global feature extraction and feature matching process. The estimated overlapping regions are used to calculate a homogeneous rigid transform, which serves as an initial condition for the GICP point cloud registration algorithm to refine the alignment between the maps. The advantages of this approach include faster processing time, improved accuracy, and increased robustness in challenging environments. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed framework is successfully demonstrated through multiple field missions of robot exploration in a variety of different underground environments.

This paper presents a distributed inverse dynamics controller (DIDC) for quadruped robots that addresses the limitations of existing reactive controllers: simplified dynamical models, the inability to handle exact friction cone constraints, and the high computational requirements of whole-body controllers. Current methods either ignore friction constraints entirely or use linear approximations, leading to potential slip and instability, while comprehensive whole-body controllers demand significant computational resources. Our approach uses full rigid-body dynamics and enforces exact friction cone constraints through a novel geometric optimization-based solver. DIDC combines the required generalized forces corresponding to the actuated and unactuated spaces by projecting them onto the actuated space while satisfying the physical constraints and maintaining orthogonality between the base and joint tracking objectives. Experimental validation shows that our approach reduces foot slippage, improves orientation tracking, and converges at least two times faster than existing reactive controllers with generic QP-based implementations. The controller enables stable omnidirectional trotting at various speeds and consumes less power than comparable methods while running efficiently on embedded processors. © 2024, CC BY-SA.
