The emergence of sudden obstacles can significantly reduce the feasible space and may induce locally non-convex or fragmented space, especially in densely clustered scenarios, making vehicle trajectory planning remarkably challenging. Current methods face computational bottlenecks when generating em
This study investigates the problem of large-scale swarm robots shape self-assembly problem under conditions of information asymmetry. Existing methods assume complete sharing of global information; however, this assumption has significant limitations in terms of resource consumption and swarm emerg
Existing full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods often fail to capture the complex causal mechanisms that underlie human perceptual responses to image distortions, limiting their ability to generalize across diverse scenarios. In this paper, we propose an FR-IQA method based on abdu…
In complex unstructured environments, accurate terrain traversability analysis is a fundamental requirement for the successful execution of any movements of ground robots, especially given that terrain traversability often exhibits anisotropy. However, the difficulty in obtaining multi-directional t…
The quality of a robot’s environmental perception determines whether it can achieve more intelligent applications, such as semantic interaction with humans. SLAM, on the other hand, is one of the crucial capabilities for a robot to perceive its environment. However, when only a monocular image is pr…
Underwater adsorption is the key function of underwater robot operation, in order to complete the underwater wall fixation, underwater object capture and other operations. The underwater adhesion mechanism based on vibration control has the advantage of using the liquid viscosity to pull the object
In order to improve climbing performance of the robot in complex environments, the wheel-legged mechanism is gradually being widely used. In this letter, we simplify the previous eccentric paddle mechanism (ePaddle), and propose a 2-DOF ePaddle-based robot which integrates stability and maneuverabil
Cell morphology plays an important role in maintaining normal cellular functions. Existing techniques for cell morphology measurement, such as confocal imaging and atomic force microscopy, have the limitations of photobleaching and incompatibility for integration with other cell manipulation instrum
The planar rimless wheel (PRW) is a classic and simple passive dynamic mechanism to simulate biped walking, different simplified PRW models have respective descriptions and limited applications. This paper focus on constructing the general PRW model, and analyzing the intrinsic and mathematical rela…
Embryo vitrification is an essential cryopreservation technique in IVF (in vitro fertilization) clinics. Vitrification involves pick-and-place of an embryo in multiple types of cryoprotectant solutions for processing before placing the embryo on a vitrification straw for cryopreservation in liquid n
To gain high mobility on challenging terrains, a mobile robot based on eccentric paddle mechanism (ePaddle) with locomotion versatility has been proposed. In this paper, a paddle-aided stair-climbing motion is presented for this ePaddle-based robot. The robot can roll on the stair as a traditional w…
