Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Subterranean Mine Inspection Using the Prometheus Re‐Configurable Drone

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1646-1660, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the design, development, and real‐world testing of an autonomous drone for subterranean exploration, known as “Prometheus.” Driven by requirements from industry that the drone be able to be deployed through areas of restricted access, Prometheus was designed to be directly deployed through a 150 mm aperture.

Genetic-based control of a skid steering mobile robot

International Journal of Mechanisms and Robotic Systems, 2016
In this paper, a genetic based optimisation of nonlinear controller parameters for the purposes of controlling a skid steering mobile robot is introduced and also, the classical kinematics model is enhanced as an extended kinematics model to include the slip conditions. The controller is simple in terms of design and implementation. In addition, it can

Returning to Performance After ACL Injury in Competitive Alpine Skiing: A Scoping Review and Evidence‐ and Expert‐Informed Practice Recommendations

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in competitive alpine skiing and pose significant challenges for return‐to‐performance (RTP) pathways. The aim of this scoping review was to map the current state of research, identify key factors for recovery, highlight knowledge gaps and synthesize evidence‐ and expert‐informed practice ...

Collapsible Cubes: Removing Overhangs from 3D Point Clouds to Build Local Navigable Elevation Maps [PDF]

, 2014
Elevation maps offer a compact 2 1/2 dimensional model of terrain surface for navigation in field mobile robotics. However, building these maps from 3D raw point clouds con- taining overhangs, such as tree canopy or tunnels, can produce useless results.

Kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus) on the water surface

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 298-312, February 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus). The top image shows a water strider making turns, with arrows indicating possible directions and a dashed line tracing its path, highlighting its dynamic turning capabilities.
