Optical Flow Enables Hand Tracking With EyeGlove Low‐Cost Cameras in Confined Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
A cost‐effective (<£150) hand‐wearable stereo vision system, EyeGlove, is proposed to support visual inspection in confined environments. The system integrates disjointed low‐cost cameras to enable dexterous camera manipulation and wearable display unit for real‐time interaction.

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1332-1362, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Subterranean Mine Inspection Using the Prometheus Re‐Configurable Drone

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1646-1660, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the design, development, and real‐world testing of an autonomous drone for subterranean exploration, known as “Prometheus.” Driven by requirements from industry that the drone be able to be deployed through areas of restricted access, Prometheus was designed to be directly deployed through a 150 mm aperture.

A Computer Vision Approach for Performance Tracking of Robotic Compliant Systems

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
The mechanical failures (low, medium, or severe) of compliant mechanisms include link disconnection and deformation of structural elements, leading to a loss of gripping performance and grasping accuracy compared to normal behavior. Through non‐invasive monitoring, autoencoders, and thresholding techniques, it is possible to identify the type of ...
