Lifecycle dynamics of agricultural green patents in china and the global context

Discover Sustainability
Agriculture is both a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and highly vulnerable to climate change. While green patents are widely used to track sustainability-oriented innovation, limited research examines how agricultural climate technologies ...

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Living at the Interface: Behavioral, Evolutionary and Ecological Insights of Spring Use by Highly Mobile Stygobiont Crustaceans, Troglocaris planinensis (Decapoda: Atyidae)

Ecology and Evolution
Springs represent ecotones between groundwater and surface freshwater habitats. Recent research suggested that springs can be more important than expected for stygobiont (i.e., adapted to live in groundwater) species, still information on habitat ...

Robotic Control for Human–Robot Collaborative Assembly Based on Digital Human Model and Reinforcement Learning

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a robotic control method for human–robot collaborative assembly based on a biomechanics‐constrained digital human model. Reinforcement learning is used to generate physiologically plausible human motion trajectories, which are integrated into a virtual environment for robot control learning.

Beyond Viscosity: Saliva-Driven Oral Processing of Commercial Dysphagia Foods Through Rheology, Tribology, and Mucoadhesion

Journal of Food Quality
Designing safe and acceptable foods for individuals with dysphagia requires understanding oral processing beyond viscosity-based descriptors. Saliva plays a central role in bolus behavior by modulating lubrication, friction, and food–mucosa interactions.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint
