TacScope: A Miniaturized Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor for Surgical Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.TacScope is a compact, vision‐based tactile sensor designed for robot‐assisted surgery. By leveraging a curved elastomer surface with pressure‐sensitive particle redistribution, it captures high‐resolution 3D tactile feedback. TacScope enables accurate tumor detection and shape classification beneath soft tissue phantoms, offering a scalable, low‐cost ...

The influence of local politicians on pedestrian safety [PDF]
Injury Prevention, 2006 Aim:To determine whether local politicians influence the distribution of traffic calming measures.Methods:Longitudinal ecological study in two UK cities. Local political constituencies were categorized by representation by members of the cabinet structure as a marker of influence. The density of traffic calming features per political area, adjusted for

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Safety education of pedestrians for injury prevention [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2002 Each year about one million people die and about 10 million are seriously injured on the world's roads. Educational measures to teach pedestrians how to cope with the traffic environment are considered to be an essential component of any prevention strategy, and pedestrian education has been recommended in many countries.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

‘Numbers in Safety’ for Pedestrians in Melbourne
FindingsThe ‘Safety in Numbers’ (SIN) phenomenon suggests that pedestrian presence enhances the safety conditions of a street or an intersection. The inverse relationship, which we call ‘Numbers in Safety’ (NIS), hypothesises that safer streets attract more pedestrians. This study tests the relationship using a panel regression analysis on six years (2014-2019)

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AT CROSSINGS
Acta Tecnología, 2015 The article deals with the evaluation of selected pedestrian crossings in terms of their functional parameters. Road safety is still a highly debated issue in all countries with a developed automobile transportation. Risk are the group of participants, with a team that drivers and passengers in motor vehicles are more or less protected by the vehicle ...
