Design of a wrist and operator interface for an agricultural manipulator : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Engineering and Automation at Massey University [PDF]

, 2000
Roadside mowing and tree pruning has always been a job that most people would consider as unpleasant. This project is concerned with the development of a system to make these tasks simpler, safer and more pleasant for the operator.

Hierarchical Language Models for Semantic Navigation and Manipulation in an Aerial‐Ground Robotic System

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A hierarchical multimodal framework coupling a large language model for task decomposition and semantic mapping with a fine‐tuned vision‐language model for semantic perception, enhanced by GridMask, is presented. An aerial‐ground robot team exploits the semantic map for global and local planning.

Via‐Points Task Execution Based on Enhanced Dynamic Movement Primitives and Steering Force Fields

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Enhanced dynamic movement primitives with steering force fields enable robotic arms to flexibly traverse static and dynamic via‐points while preserving demonstrated trajectory shapes. The method ensures stability, minimizes free‐space loss, and adapts to complex environments without additional learning, making it particularly suitable for industrial ...

Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

A Multimodal Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Flexible Sensor for Soft Robotic Hand Environmental Perception

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multimodal laser‐induced graphene (LIG)‐based flexible sensor is developed to detect proximity and contact signals. Integrated into a soft robotic hand, it enables vision‐free object searching and grasping. Combined with a convolutional neural network, the system achieves accurate material and texture recognition, enhancing the capability of ...

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up
