Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

An Active Knee–Ankle–Foot Orthosis With Torque‐Dense, Low‐Impedance Knee Actuation
This article presents the simulation, design, and clinical validation of a robotic active KAFO with torque‐sensitive actuation. By passively and continuously adapting the transmission ratio in response to the knee torque, the torque‐sensitive actuator overcomes the tradeoff between torque, weight, and impedance observed in conventional robot actuators,

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Abstract US universities are built on stolen land and sustained through hierarchies of power that produce what migrant justice scholars name as b/order regimes. As institutions that claim to be sites of learning and inclusion, universities are fraught with contradictions as simultaneously sites of dispossession, exclusion, and control.
