A Backdrivable Impedance‐Controlled Wrist for Safe and Measurable Canopy Interaction in Robotic Apple Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Dense apple canopies make contact unavoidable, and human pickers handle it by letting the wrist give. A compact backdrivable wrist brings the same compliance to a harvesting robot, deflecting on contact and estimating the interaction torque from motor current alone.

A Simple and Affordable Footwear‐Integrated Near‐Miss Slip Sensor for Detecting Latent Slip Risk During Gait

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A simple, affordable near‐miss slip sensor mounted on the shoe sole detects floor slipperiness during walking on oily and normal floors. Its two‐stage structure houses two single‐axis force sensors, and their peak‐output ratio—the central pressure response normalized by the load‐reference signal—classifies the two floor types (p < 0.01).

Deep Learning Assisted Prediction of Reflection High‐Energy Electron Diffraction Patterns During Heteroepitaxy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
PredRHEED uses artificial intelligence (AI) to learn from the RHEED images collected during molecular beam epitaxy and predict how the surface will evolve several seconds into the future. By forecasting upcoming changes in the growth process, the approach provides a step toward faster monitoring, early detection of unwanted changes, and more automated ...

Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
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

B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.
