Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Design and Modeling of a High‐Displacement, Skin‐Integrated Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator for Haptic Interfaces in Virtual Reality

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...

Effect of lightweight aggregates on the mechanical properties and brittleness of lightweight aggregate concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2012
Abstract The influence of volume fraction and aggregate properties on the mechanical performance of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) were studied. A new Shape Index that described the shape characteristics of lightweight aggregate (LWA) has been proposed and its effects on resulting LWAC were evaluated.

Coconut shell as lightweight aggregate for manufacturing structural lightweight aggregate concrete

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
Utilization of concrete in construction industry has increased in last decades. Although, concrete has a lot of advantages, it is important to consider its negative impacts on environment. One of that negative impacts is depletion of natural resources.

Lightweight Aggregates

1948
Lightweight mineral aggregates as discussed herein are those used in the manufacture of portland-cement concrete having a unit weight less than about 120 lb. per cu. ft. Air-cooled blast-furnace slag is excluded, not only because it produces concretes of unit weight greater than about 130 lb. per cu. ft. but also because it is specified and used in the

Surface Modification of Lightweight Aggregate and Properties of the Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

2008
Structural lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers design flexibility and substantial cost savings by providing less dead load [1]. Because of higher water absorption of lightweight aggregate (LWA), process of mixing LWAC is more complex than that of normal weight concrete (NWC).

Effect of presoaking degree of lightweight aggregate on the properties of lightweight aggregate concrete

Computers and Concrete, 2017
This study aimed at exploring the effect of presoaking degree of lightweight aggregate (LWA) on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Two series (i.e., Series A and Series B) of concrete mixes that were made of LWA with different moisture states were prepared.
