Direct Current Triboelectric Nanogenerators (DC-TENGs) have emerged as a promising technology for sustainable energy harvesting, enabling the direct conversion of mechanical energy into a stable DC output. Unlike traditional Alternating Current Triboelectric Nanogenerators (AC-TENGs), which require rectification, the output of DC-TENGs simplify system integration, thereby making them ideal for low-power devices such as wearable electronics, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This review highlights the recent progress in DC-TENGs, focusing on their fundamental working mechanisms, including those based on dual and electrostatic breakdown effects, material optimization, and structural enhancements. Key challenges in the field, which include material durability, efficiency of energy conversion, charge retention, and environmental sensitivity are explored in detail. In addition, future directions emphasize the development of advanced triboelectric materials, hybrid energy harvesting systems, scalable fabrication techniques, and the adaptation of DC-TENGs to a diverse range of environmental conditions. As a result of recent research and innovation, DC-TENG technology is well positioned to play a pivotal role in the next generation of energy harvesting solutions, providing a path toward decentralized, autonomous and self-sustaining power systems.

In this paper, we describe an approach to inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards by using a circular illumination technique and a neural network classifier. The illumination technique, consisting of three tiered circular colour lamps and one colour camera, gives good visual cues to infer 3D shape of the solder joint surface. A general aspect of this inspection is that the shape of the solder joint tends to greatly vary according to soldering conditions. Due to this, a neural network classifier based on a supervised version of Kohonen learning vector quantization (LVQ) is proposed to automatically and efficiently make classification criteria of the solder joint shapes according to their quality. The practical feasibility of the proposed approach is demonstrated by building a prototype inspection machine and testing its performance.

This paper presents a tracked robot composed of the proposed crawler mechanism, in which a planetary gear reducer is employed as transmission device and provides two outputs in different forms with only one actuator. The robot that contains two crawler modules can generate several configurations through controlling cooperatively the two actuators. This tracked robot, which uses two actuators to give four outputs, however could have less realizable postures than that where each output is provided by one actuator exactly. To figure out what postures can be generated by the introduced dual-crawler robot, the quasi-static analysis of the robot has been conducted in case of taking the rolling resistance into consideration, and its realizable postures are obtained numerically. The posture transition of the robot is also discussed in this paper.
