The Thorvald II Agricultural Robotic System

open access: yesRobotics, 2017
This paper presents a novel and modular approach to agricultural robots. Food production is highly diverse in several aspects. Even farms that grow the same crops may differ in topology, infrastructure, production method, and so on.

A Vision-based Scheme for Kinematic Model Construction of Re-configurable Modular Robots

open access: yes, 2017
Re-configurable modular robotic (RMR) systems are advantageous for their reconfigurability and versatility. A new modular robot can be built for a specific task by using modules as building blocks.

PeriSim: A Simulator for Optimizing Peristaltic Table Control

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2019
Peristaltic conveyance can be used for the sorting and transport of delicate and nonrigid objects such as meat or soft fruit. The non‐linearity and stochastic behavior of peristaltic systems make them difficult to control.

A Proposal for a Multi-Drive Heterogeneous Modular Pipe- Inspection Micro-Robot

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents the architecture used to develop a micro-robot for narrow pipes inspection. Both the electromechanical design and the control scheme will be described. In pipe environments it is very useful to have a method to retrieve information of

Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The field of modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems addresses the design, fabrication, motion planning, and control of autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Modular self-reconfigurable systems have the promise of making significant

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.
