Design of a Novel Gripping Mechanism and Dual Manipulator Robotic System for Apple Harvesting Using Tractor

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The architecture of apple orchards can be converted to easier operation by implementing the use of a low‐cost, tractor‐mounted, dual manipulator based on a robotic harvesting system with lower degrees of freedom (DoF). To accurately avoid injuries by detecting apples, an efferent, real‐time vision system that includes a new gripping mechanism ...

Care Praxis–Driven STEM Design for Sustainable and Just Communities in Middle School

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the growing interest in incorporating care ethics into STEM education, these topics are rarely integrated into K‐12 standards and pedagogical practice. We explore how care praxis, a political and ethical approach to STEM education, supports students' sense‐making in addressing real‐world problems throughout STEM design, merging social,

Editorial Perspective: Expanding the search for environmental exposures related to children's development

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
In the fields of child psychology and psychiatry, countless environmental factors have been identified as correlates of children's health and development, yet each of these generally accounts for a small proportion of variance. The unaccounted‐for variation in a model may be due to measurement error, random variation, model misspecifications or ...
