AI‐enabled bumpless transfer control strategy for legged robot with hybrid energy storage system
Abstract Designing Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for a legged robot is significant to improve the motion performance and energy efficiency of the robot. However, switching between the driving mode and regenerative braking mode in the HESS may generate a torque bump, which has brought significant challenges to the stability of the robot locomotion.

Abstract Much of the current popular and academic literature on the provision of green spaces is dominated by the assumption that ‘nature’ is an unalloyed positive, and that socioeconomic and racial exclusion from access to green spaces is a problem of unequal spatial distribution rather than of the form and content of particular urban designs.

Welcome to the jangle (fallacy): The case of statistics and mathematics anxieties
Abstract Background Statistics‐related anxiety is a common barrier to learning in higher education, particularly for psychology and other non‐specialist students. High prevalence rates are concerning because statistical literacy is integral to academic success, employability and informed citizenship.
