A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Environmentally Symbiotic Plant Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed cycle of seeding, germination, growth, and reseeding, autonomously traveling on soil for 30 days using only environmental resources while distributing seeds

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel

A Bionic Walking Wheel for Enhanced Trafficability in Paddy Fields with Muddy Soil

Biomimetics
To improve wheel trafficability in soft and muddy soils such as paddy fields, a bionic walking wheel is designed based on the structural morphology and movement mode of the feet of waders living in marshes and mudflats, similar to the muddy soil of paddy

Modelling and simulation of dynamic wheel-rail interaction using a roller rig [PDF]

, 2012
The interaction between the wheel and rail greatly influences the dynamic response of railway vehicles on the track. A roller rig facility can be used to study and monitor real time parameters that influence wheel-rail interaction such as wear, adhesion,
