Routing Optimization of Cable‐Driven Octopus‐Inspired Manipulators With Minimal Actuation via Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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.

Stakeholder Perspectives on Therapeutic and Safe Building Design in Residential Care

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Residential care is a form of out‐of‐home care that plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable young people in Australia. However, there is an evidence gap regarding the built environment in this context. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders in residential care in Victoria, Australia, regarding design that ...
