Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

The improved grasshopper optimization algorithm and its applications
Scientific Reports, 2021 Grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) proposed in 2017 mimics the behavior of grasshopper swarms in nature for solving optimization problems. In the basic GOA, the influence of the gravity force on the updated position of every grasshopper is not ...

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport
Small Structures, EarlyView.Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...
