A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and

Deep Q‐Network‐Based Hierarchical Path Planning of a Biped Wall‐Climbing Robot for Window Cleaning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a biped wall‐cleaning climbing robotic system for the maintenance of multi‐isolated areas on exoskeleton‐structured windows (ESWs). A full coverage cleaning approach is proposed by integrating a deep Q‐network‐based method with the robotic system to address the complete coverage cleaning path planning problem.

Cooperative Merging in Mixed Traffic Based on Strategic Influence of Connected Automated Vehicles on Human‐Driven Vehicle Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes an optimization‐based cooperative merging strategy for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in mixed traffic. By leveraging the strategic influence of CAVs on human‐driven vehicles (HDVs), the method reduces uncertainties in HDV behavior and improves traffic flow, achieving up to 31% reduction in average travel time delay ...
