From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

An Advanced Risk Matrix Model for the Navigational Safety of Passenger-Cargo Ferries

open access: yesSAGE Open
Safety is argued to be one of the most critical issues for the sustainable development (SD) of transportation. Thus, the current paper aims to evaluate the risk of navigational safety for passenger-cargo ferries (PCFs).

Navigation of Ships in Channel Bends under Special Conditions Using Sensors Systems

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Navigational channels and approaches to ports may have bends that constitute the specific sailing conditions for ships. A vessel’s entrance into a bend and its safe passing depends on the ship’s position accuracy, turn angle, and internal and external ...

Evaluation methodology for safety maturity in air navigation safety

open access: yesJournal of Air Transport Management, 2022
Abstract Safety Maturity for Air Navigation Safety indicates the extent to which the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) and regulators have identified the implementation of processes necessary to take safety measures for the Navigational Aids (NAVAID) and to reduce risk. If there is an unstable element or defect in the operation and management of

Formation Control of Multi‐Agent System with Local Interaction and Artificial Potential Field

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article proposes a local interaction‐based formation control method for Multi‐Agent system, integrating consensus and leader‐follower strategies with a stress response mechanism—artificial potential field to reduce communication overhead and enable obstacle avoidance. Experimental results on triangular, square, and hexagonal formations confirm its
