Design of a Novel Gripping Mechanism and Dual Manipulator Robotic System for Apple Harvesting Using Tractor

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The architecture of apple orchards can be converted to easier operation by implementing the use of a low‐cost, tractor‐mounted, dual manipulator based on a robotic harvesting system with lower degrees of freedom (DoF). To accurately avoid injuries by detecting apples, an efferent, real‐time vision system that includes a new gripping mechanism ...

An Enhanced Soft‐Containing Gripper for Pick‐And‐Place of Oyster Products at Extreme Handling Speed

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soft robotic grippers have been developed for high‐speed handling of soft, fragile foods. For example, our previously designed soft‐containing gripper has been implemented on food production lines. However, existing soft robotic grippers remain inadequate for food pick‐and‐place tasks at extreme handling speeds (e.g., > 70 pcs/min).

European Circular Economy Structural Typology Based on Multivariate Analysis of Latent Dimensions and Transition Pathways

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transition towards a circular economy has become a strategic priority for the European Union, although Member States continue to exhibit substantial differences in economic performance, resource efficiency and circular economy implementation. Understanding these structural differences is essential for designing effective policy interventions ...

An Ergonomic Customizable Soft Robotic Glove Toward Personalized Hand Rehabilitation

SmartBot, 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

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Making Meets Informal Innovation: Formalisation, Access and Openness in Indian Makerspaces

Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Makerspaces and fabrication labs (fablabs) are inclusive and open infrastructures. They democratise access to tools and technologies and facilitate bottom‐up innovation. Research on these spaces thus highlights the importance of openness, community orientation and the ability to foster informal experimentation that these spaces enable. In this

Single Line Drawing Generation via Semantics‐Driven Optimization

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present a method for automatically generating single‐line drawings in vector format, guided by a text prompt or an input image. Our approach leverages score distillation sampling to optimize the parameters of a uniform rational B‐spline (URBS) curve, ensuring that the drawing consists of a single continuous stroke by design.

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Chromatin Remodeller BRD9 Orchestrates Odontoblastic Differentiation via Coordinating RUNX2‐KLF4

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During odontoblast lineage commitment, the chromatin remodeller BRD9 acts as a critical epigenetic coordinator, orchestrating the chromatin landscape to facilitate synergistic binding of key transcription factors RUNX2 and KLF4 to target loci for odontogenesis.
