Design of a Novel Gripping Mechanism and Dual Manipulator Robotic System for Apple Harvesting Using Tractor

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The architecture of apple orchards can be converted to easier operation by implementing the use of a low‐cost, tractor‐mounted, dual manipulator based on a robotic harvesting system with lower degrees of freedom (DoF). To accurately avoid injuries by detecting apples, an efferent, real‐time vision system that includes a new gripping mechanism ...

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Revealing Airflow–Particle Dynamics in Dry Powder Inhalers

Small, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining device and formulation characterization, CFD–DEM simulations, and interpretable machine learning is established. This framework reveals how airflow and particle interactions govern powder dispersion across prevailing dry powder inhalers.

Surface Locomotion of Cell‐Sized Microrobots Subject to Adhesive Heterogeneity

Small, EarlyView.
Chemically powered, cell‐sized microrobots exhibit translational, circular, or spiral motion through a balance among self‐phoretic propulsion, drag, gravity, and heterogeneous surface interactions. Experiments show that microrobot design and substrate conditions regulate both mobility and trajectory type.

How We Simulate Nanopores

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Nanopore technology has revolutionized single‐molecule sensing, yet it suffers from an inherent interpretive challenge. Molecular dynamics has emerged as a go‐to method for determining the relationship between the structure of translocating molecules and the nanopore current signals.
