Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

Performance Evaluation of Super‐Resolution Techniques for Characterization and Phenotyping of Commodity Crops Using Multispectral Imagery

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study assesses the suitability and performance of single‐image super‐resolution methods when applied directly, and without any fine‐tuning, to multispectral images of maize and sunflower crops. It evaluates not only super‐resolution performance, but also the preservation of spectral integrity and vegetation‐index reliability. Multispectral imagery

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel

Policy uncertainty shocks and farm investments in Europe: Evidence from a newspaper‐based index

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...

Participatory Policy Development: Reflections on Designing the Strong Roots for Our Futures Program in Victoria

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we trace the journey to create the Strong Roots for our Futures Program, a government program to resource and support Traditional Owners to undertake a range of activities in areas where no state recognition existed. We provide a background to state recognition in Victoria before considering the program design, leading to an ...
