A dexterous and compliant aerial continuum manipulator for cluttered and constrained environments by Rui Peng, Yu Wang, Minghao Lu, Peng Lu

“…Through comprehensive fundamental verifications, we demonstrate that our system can adapt to various constrained environments, such as navigating through narrow holes, tubes, or crevices, and can handle a range of objects, including slender, deformable, irregular, or heavy items. Our system can potentially be deployed in challenging conditions, such as pipeline maintenance or electricity line inspection at high altitudes.…”

Compressive sensing based data gathering algorithm over unreliable links in WSN by Ce ZHANG, Xia ZHANG, Ou LI, Guan-lin MEI, Zhe HAN, Da-long ZHANG, Guang-yi LIU

“…To solve the problem that the ubiquitous unreliable links in the WSN influence the performance of the compressive sensing (CS) based data gathering,first the relationship between the reconstruction SNR of CS-based data gathering algorithm and the bit-error-ratio (BER) were simulated quantitatively.Then classify two cases were classified,namely light-payload and heavy-payload,relying on the analysis of wireless link packet loss characteristics.The random packet loss model was conceived to describe the packet loss under light-payload scenario.Further the neighbor topology spatial correlation prediction-based CS data gathering (CS-NTSC) algorithm was proposed,which utilized the nodes spatial correlation to reduce the impact of error.Additionally,the node pseudo-failure model was conceived to describe the packet loss occurred in network congestion,and then the sparse schedule-aided CS data gathering (CS-SSDG) algorithm were conceived,for the purpose of changing the sparsity of measurement matrix and avoiding measurements amongst the nodes affected by unreliable links,thus weakening the impact of error/loss on data reconstruction.Simulation analysis indicates that the proposed algorithms are not only capable of improving the accuracy of the data reconstruction without extra energy,but also effectively reducing the impact affected by the unreliable links imposed on CS-based data gathering.…”

Exploring perceived walkability in one-way commercial streets: An application of 360° immersive videos. by Dao Chi Vo, Jeongseob Kim

“…While one-way roads are often introduced to facilitate smooth traffic flow on narrow roads, providing safe and walkable environments for pedestrians on the one-way roads is crucial, especially in commercial areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. We recruited 40 students to assess the perceived walkability of one-way roads based on ten VR scenarios. …”
