Examining Patient Safety Events Using the Behaviour Change Wheel: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety
Precursor-level safety events (PSEs) pose greater patient risk than no-harm events but are not as severe as serious safety events. Despite their potential for harm, the underlying determinants associated with PSEs are poorly understood. This study aimed to use a behavior change framework to understand the underlying determinants of PSEs and whether ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of railway wheel squeal [PDF]

, 2007
The tangential contact forces that arise at the interface between the wheel of a railway vehicle and the rail provide all the traction, braking, and guidance required by the vehicle.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Theoretical evaluation of mental health first aid using the behavioural change wheel (BCW)

Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine
Mental health first aid (MHFA) has gained popularity over the years. This study retrospectively maps the MHFA intervention to characterise its content using the Behavioural Change Wheel to identify the active ingredients and mechanisms of action.Three data sources formed the data for the current study. Namely, the MHFA training manual, a roleplay video

WorMa: An Undulatory Robot With Center of Mass Regulation via Internal Fluid Redistribution for Amphibious Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes
