Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

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 ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
