Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Honeymoon-hangover effect: Occupant workspace satisfaction decreases over time

Indoor Environments
This paper investigates the pattern of change in occupants’ satisfaction with the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) of their workspace over time. Analyses were performed on a cumulative (2012–2023) database of responses to a Post-Occupancy Evaluation ...

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)

Journal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers, 1995
Following The Arab Oil Embargo In The Mid 70S, Many Building Owners Conscientiously Tightened Building Envelopes And Reduced Outside Air And Infiltration To Buildings For The Purpose Of Conserving Energy. As A Result Of Reduced Or Eliminated Ventilation, Many Buildings And Their Inherent Air Conditioning Systems Have Been Breeding Grounds For Mold ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...
