Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and

Reducing Inequalities Through Sustainable Digital Design: Assistive Technology Development for SDG 3 and SDG 10

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to appropriate assistive technologies (AT) remains a major barrier to health, well‐being, and social inclusion, particularly among vulnerable and marginalised populations. Addressing this challenge is central to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well‐being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
