Robotics for Crop Pollination: Recent Advances and Future Direction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is great interest in alternative pollination strategies for crop production in the face of climate change and perennial threats to the traditional pollination mechanisms. This review explores the potential of robotic pollination as a promising solution to these challenges affecting crop fertilization, agricultural sustainability, and ...

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

A Compact Annular Electrostatic Clutch Joint: Dynamic Response Modeling and Time‐Sharing Control for Underactuated Robots

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Electrostatic clutches offer programmable variable stiffness for multi‐DOF robots, but their continuous motion is usually bottlenecked by spatial constraints and detachment delays. Here, the authors report a compact annular electrostatic clutch joint with a biphasic amplitude‐frequency modulation strategy to rapidly mitigate residual polarization ...

An Ergonomic Customizable Soft Robotic Glove Toward Personalized Hand Rehabilitation

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Soft robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation are often limited by poor fit and uneven pressure on the fingers. Here, the authors report an ergonomic all‐fabric glove whose dual‐action actuators are tailored to individual finger geometry by CNC heat sealing, with symmetrical chambers that distribute interface pressure more evenly. Weighing only 90 g, the

Deterministic Switching‐Path Engineering of CMOS‐Integrated 2D Memristors for Neuromorphic Computing

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Deterministic grain‐boundary engineering in 2D MoTe2 defines resistive switching paths, while CMOS transistors impose gate‐tunable current compliance in a monolithically integrated 1T–1 M array. The resulting artificial synapses show stable, linear, and low‐variation analog weight updates, illustrating how materials‐level defect control can be ...
