CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

Efficient and Adaptive Autonomous Guidance and Control of Planetary Rover With Improved Traction Controller and Dynamic Cost Map

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Planetary exploration is rapidly gaining importance within the space research community. Autonomous locomotion of rovers requires consideration of several mobility aspects to ensure safety, including avoiding hazardous areas that can cause the robot to become immobilized in soft soil or damaged in sharp terrains.

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Stress‐guided photo‐programming of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers for 2D‐to‐3D shape–color information encoding

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
We reported a stress‐guided photo‐programming strategy that enables cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) to achieve synchronous 3D shape morphing and structural color evolution from a single 2D film. Abstract Flexible materials with dynamic structural colors have attracted considerable interest for multilevel information interaction, showing ...

Multichannel Photoluminescence of Graphene Quantum Dots Across Femtosecond to Cryogenic Timescales

Small, EarlyView.
This study reveals how graphene quantum dots emit light across all relevant timescales, from femtoseconds to cryogenic steady states. By integrating optical Kerr gating, time‐correlated single‐photon counting, and low‐temperature photoluminescence, distinct intrinsic, surface, and defect‐related emission channels are temporally and spectrally ...
