Automated path‐planning strategy for robotic inspection of underground utilities based on building information model

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 29, Page 5554-5575, 9 December 2025.
Abstract This paper proposes a fully automated end‐to‐end inspection‐path‐planning strategy for underground utilities, such as pipelines, based on building information modeling (BIM). An automatic extraction method is developed to process utility information from BIM models, using a registration step that pairs each pipeline with its corresponding ...

Complete‐coverage path planning for surface inspection of cable‐stayed bridge tower based on building information models and climbing robots

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 25, Page 4149-4171, 20 October 2025.
Abstract Climbing robots present transformative potential for automated structural inspections, yet their deployment remains limited by the reliance on manual control due to the absence of effective environment perception and path‐planning solutions.

Reinforcement learning–based task allocation and path‐finding in multi‐robot systems under environment uncertainty

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 22, Page 3408-3429, 9 September 2025.
Abstract Autonomous robots have the potential to significantly improve the operational efficiency of multi‐robot systems (MRSs) under environment uncertainties. Achieving robust performance in these settings requires effective task allocation and adaptive path‐finding.

Occupational nerve injuries

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 732-746, May 2025.
Abstract Occupational nerve injuries span a broad array of pathologies and contribute toward functional limitation, disability, and economic impact. Early and accurate recognition, treatment, and management of workplace factors rely on a thorough understanding of the anatomic and biomechanical factors that drive nerve injury.

Task Allocation and Trajectory Optimization for Multi‐UAV Cargo Systems with Cellular‐Connected Constraints

IET Communications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
We utilize Dijkstra's algorithm to derive the shortest paths between points while maintaining communication connectivity under specific quality constraints. Second, we integrate these paths with a hybrid optimization algorithm that fuses a genetic algorithm and an ant colony algorithm in order to solve the problem of task assignment and route planning ...

Clustering Path Optimisation‐Based 2‐Opt Rapid Wax‐Drawing Trajectory Planning for Industrial 3D Wax‐Drawing Robots

IET Cyber-Systems and Robotics, Volume 7, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT The tool path trajectory serves as a cornerstone of three‐dimensional (3D) printing robot technology, and path optimisation algorithms are instrumental in enabling faster, more precise and higher‐quality prints. This work proposes a clustering path optimisation‐based 2‐opt rapid wax‐drawing trajectory planning method for 3D drawing robots ...

Augmented ɛ‐constraint‐based matheuristic methodology for Bi‐objective production scheduling problems

IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2024.
First, the authors propose an augmented epsilon‐constraint‐based matheuristic methodology (epsilon‐MH) to apply the idea of epsilon‐constraint to embedded MILP models, so that Pareto fronts obtained by meta‐heuristics can be further improved by solving a set of MILP models.

When do startups scale? Large‐scale evidence from job postings

Strategic Management Journal, Volume 45, Issue 9, Page 1633-1669, September 2024.
Abstract Research Summary Scaling at the right time is a crucial challenge for startups. Conceptualizing “scaling” as the entrepreneurial process of acquiring and committing resources to implement the core business idea and expand the customer base, this study examines how scaling early may decrease imitation risk at the expense of increasing ...

Wireless sensing charging based on multi‐drone cooperation

IET Networks, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 199-207, May 2024.
The problem of energy replenishment and path planning for large‐scale wireless sensor networks by multiple UAVs is considered. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the path planning of UAVs and the hovering time at each sensor. Abstract In recent years, wireless charging technology is widely used for sensor charging.
