Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Reconfigurable Design and Optimization‐Based Control of an Integrated Leg‐Arm Robot for Space Applications With an Underactuated Body

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A quadrupedal integrated leg‐arm robot with an underactuated reconfigurable body is developed. By using a Sarrus mechanism as the body, the robot enables reconfiguration through its supporting limbs, achieving mode switching without additional actuators.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

‘Giving Back to Our Community’: The Retention of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Disability Workforce in New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia require culturally responsive services. The Australian government has committed to establishing strategies to increase the size of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander disability workforce; however, there is scant research on the factors influencing retention.
