A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Single‐pump‐actuated transformable dual‐mode gripper (SATDG) that combines vacuum suction and granular jamming to effectively grasp objects ranging from 10 to 300 mm in size, spanning a vast 30‐fold range, with forces from 0.5 to 21 N, is studied. Using a bistable mechanism and origami structure, the SATDG can transform between two modes and activate ...

Chemical Recycling for Plastic Waste: Status and Perspectives
ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 541-555, December 2022., 2022 The already well‐established industrial‐scale mechanical recycling of plastics has technical and economic limits. New goods for all areas of plastics application can be generated by chemical recycling processes. This review focuses on pyrolysis and solvolysis processes. The procedures and their most important features are described.

To Agile, or not to Agile: A Comparison of Software Development Methodologies [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Since the Agile Manifesto, many organizations have explored agile development methods to replace traditional waterfall development. Interestingly, waterfall remains the most widely used practice, suggesting that there is something missing from the many "flavors" of agile methodologies.

A Multi-dimensional Study of Requirements Changes in Agile Software Development Projects [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Agile processes are now widely practiced by software engineering (SE) teams, and the agile manifesto claims that agile methods support responding to changes well. However, no study appears to have researched whether this is accurate in reality. Requirements changes (RCs) are inevitable in any software development environment, and we wanted to acquire a

Phenobot: An Autodigital Modeling System for in situ Phenotyping in Horticulture
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a robotic phenotyping system for precision agriculture, integrating environmental understanding, motion planning, and in situ plant phenotyping. The system autonomously navigates through real‐world agricultural environments, collects high‐quality plant data, and reconstructs accurate 3D plant models. Results demonstrate the system'

Using the agile adoption framework to assess agility and guide improvements [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Agility implies a set of principles that need to be followed in order to have the proposed responsiveness to change. This paper presents how the Agile Adoption Framework can be used to assess agility and pinpoint focus areas for companies that want to improve. Management found it useful in general to get data on possible focus points for improvement in

Use of Agile Practices in Start-ups [PDF]
e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal, 2021, 15.1Context Software start-ups have shown their ability to develop and launch innovative software products and services. Small, motivated teams and uncertain project scope makes start-ups good candidates for adopting Agile practices. Objective We explore how start-ups use Agile practices and what effects can be associated with the use of those practices ...

III-Vs Review, 2005 One important application of III-Vs, but one which is rarely mentioned is that of optocouplers. Recently, TFR spoke to Alexander Jaus of Agilent, one of the leading manufacturers of this family of components. There are several interesting trends in the market. Device technology is evolving with new forms of packaging and internally via the ‘Stacked LED’
