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

A Multistage Venturi Amplifier for Rapid Inflation of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents the amplifier inflator for soft robotic systems (AIRS), a compact, lightweight, and effective device for rapidly deploying inflatable structures to high pressure. By integrating a check valve with a Venturi‐based air entrainer, AIRS delivers an initial high‐flow output followed by pressurization, supporting fast inflation and ...

Shape Sensing, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance of the Continuum Manipulator in Confined Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An integrated sensing framework combines capacitive sensors, IMU, and laser array sensor. The shape reconstruction is finished by backpropagation neural network. Accurate shape estimation (relative error of 1.04%) is maintained under a 110 g tip load, while a miniaturized VL6180X array enables local environmental reconstruction and reactive obstacle ...

Comparative Profiles of Lipophilic Nutrients and In Vitro Antioxidant Activity in Commercial Arabica and Robusta Green Coffee Beans

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Integrated compositional profiling of ten commercial green coffee lots showed higher mean total phenolic content, DPPH radical‐scavenging activity, β‐carotene, and total phytosterols in Robusta‐labeled lots, whereas Arabica‐labeled lots showed higher mean total tocopherols and total measured fatty acids.

Experimental Studies on CO2 Hydrate Formation Kinetics With Kinetic Promoters

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration by means of gas hydrate formation is a promising method for mitigating global climate change. However, conventional surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) exhibit limitations such as excessive foaming and environmental toxicity. This study examines the effectiveness and environmental impact of Tween 65

Hybrid Inertial–Centrifugal Gas–Liquid Separator: CFD‐Driven Optimization Using Coupled Discrete Phase and Wall‐Film Modeling With Response Surface Methodology

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.
