Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

A Survey of Spatial Crowdsourcing

open access: yesACM Transactions on Database Systems, 2019
Widespread use of advanced mobile devices has led to the emergence of a new class of crowdsourcing called spatial crowdsourcing. Spatial crowdsourcing advances the potential of a crowd to perform tasks related to real-world scenarios involving physical locations, which were not feasible with conventional crowdsourcing methods.

Citizen Science for Individual Identification of Pine Martens Martes martes From Camera Trap Footage

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps generate large volumes of wildlife footage, but identifying animals to the individual level remains challenging and time‐consuming. Using European pine martens in the Forest of Dean as a case study, we assessed whether citizen scientists could identify individuals from camera trap photos and videos.

Theoretical framework for updating cross‐sections in river models using non‐standard information coming from crowdsourced images

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract During high rainfall events, one reason for flooding in urban rivers is hydraulic blockages or obstructions in channels. These may cause damming and an immediate increase in upstream water levels, leading to inundation of surroundings. The accuracy of flood models is strongly dependent on the representation of the topography of floodplain and ...

Intergenerational Altruism and Sustainable Development: The Role of Descendants and Age Effects in Promoting Future Well‐Being

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability challenges can be framed as problems of intergenerational altruism—how the current generation allocates resources to future generations. Institutional reforms such as Demeny voting assume that descendants act as intermediaries who enhance altruism toward the future. We test this “altruism premium” and evaluate two interventions,

Integrating multimodal data and machine learning for entrepreneurship research

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Extant research in neuroscience suggests that human perception is multimodal in nature—we model the world integrating diverse data sources such as sound, images, taste, and smell. Working in a dynamic environment, entrepreneurs are expected to draw on multimodal inputs in their decision making.
