Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

A Two-Stage Decomposition-Grouping Strategy for Multi-Aircraft Weight and Balance Optimization of Non-ULD

IEEE Access
This study investigates the weight balance problem in loading non-unit load devices (non-ULDs) for multi-aircraft. A two-stage weight balance optimization model was developed for multi-aircraft non-ULDs loading. The first stage involves a two-dimensional
