Direct Laser Writing of Magnetic Micro Actuators With a Stimulus‐Responsive Compliant Hinge
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a versatile modular design strategy for adaptive 3D microactuators. Using two‐photon‐induced C,H insertion reactions within solid polymer layers, chemically distinct hinge and stimulus responsive materials are patterned in one step. The hinge's properties enable tunable motion, mechanical control, and reconfigurable actuation across

Design, Modelling, and Implementation of a Fuzzy Controller for an Intelligent Road Signaling System
Complexity, 2018 Crossing points are not always 100% visible for drivers due to different factors (e.g., poor road maintenance, occlusion of vertical signs, and adverse weather conditions).

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review presents recent progress in vision‐augmented wearable interfaces that combine artificial vision, soft wearable sensors, and exoskeletal robots. Inspired by biological visual systems, these technologies enable multimodal perception and intelligent human–machine interaction.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Traffic Safety Performance Assessment and Multivariate Treatments for Intersection Locations
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2011 There is a need to evaluate the safety performance of road intersections in a vehicle platoon environment. For this purpose, this study attempts to quantify intersection related accidents and develop countermeasures to reduce injuries resulting from such

Level crossings – legal situation, design conditions, accidents and it’s causes
AUTOBUSY – Technika, Eksploatacja, Systemy Transportowe, 2018 Level crossing is the most dangerous place at which most accidents take place in connection with railway vehicles. While going by train in Poland we pass a level crossing almost every 1.5 km. Many of them do not have any safety devices like light or sound signal or car stops.

Road User Interactions: Patterns of Road Use and Perception of Driving Risk [PDF]
, 2002 The goal of the Road User Interactions research programme is a better understanding of the human factors of our road transport system: road user demographics, risk perceptions of road users, and the driving attitudes of various road user groups.

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.
