The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Vision‐Based Tactile Finger Integrating Fingerpad and Nail Sensing for Robotic Manipulation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This vision‐based tactile finger captures nail force and fingerpad force, contact position, and in‐plane orientation with one internal camera. An external camera recognizes the target and presets finger inclination from object height. The compact dual‐sensing design supports tactile‐guided table contact and reliable grasping of objects ranging from ...
