As these systems are poised for real-world deployment, it is imperative to develop security and rescue mechanisms that ensure robots' intrinsic safety and robustness in dealing with uncertainty factors. This study presents a novel cable climbing robot designed with a climbing platform, a robotic manipulator integrated with specialized maintenance tools, and a gripper to withstand dynamic loads and impacts from maintenance operations. In addition, we propose the variable-damping safe-landing mechanism, the rescue mechanism, and the fusible gripper mechanism to counteract substantial disturbances in worst-case scenarios. Extensive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the proposed robot and its security and rescue mechanisms. The cable climbing robot has a heavy-duty capacity of 45 kg and an obstacle-negotiation ability of 10 mm. It also demonstrated its capabilities in various maintenance tasks, such as cable inspection, grinding, or repair. The variable-damping safe-landing mechanism was tested, showing the maximum falling speed can decrease from 1 to 0.1 m/s to promise safety, and the falling time can increase from about 5 to 45 s. Meanwhile, the rescue mechanism successfully retrieved the trapped robot. The results demonstrate the capabilities of the cable climbing robot and the feasibility of using the security and rescue mechanisms for the climbing robotic system, which have implications that the cable climbing robot with security and rescue mechanisms is more reliable and can be deployed in the real world with greater confidence.</p>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"42 6","pages":"2532-2548"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/rob.22519","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144881467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communicating the presence of these disturbances to an operator on the surface is made more difficult by the nature of the disturbances and the lack of visible features to highlight in the visual display presented to the operator. Here we explore the use of a novel interactive soft haptic touchpad that utilizes vibration and particle jamming to provide information about the presence and direction of cross-currents to the operator of an ROV (remotely operated vehicle). An in-water experiment using a thruster-based ROV and artificially generated cross-current was performed with nonexpert ROV operators to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal haptic feedback to communicate complex environmental information during high-risk operations. Advanced haptic displays can signal both the presence of external factors as well as their direction, information that can enhance operational performance as well as reduce operator cognitive load. Using haptic feedback resulted in a statistically significant reduction in cognitive load of 24.3% and an increase in positioning accuracy of 28.3% for novice operators. Deviation from an ideal path was also reduced by 29.5% for experienced operators when using haptic feedback compared to without. While this experiment took place in controlled conditions with a fixed direction cross-current and haptic interface, this approach could be extended to communicate real-time environmental information in real-world unstructured environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"42 6","pages":"2580-2593"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/rob.22533","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144881464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing techniques are inappropriate because they do not make full use of workflow features in event logs. We observe that several types of event constraints in event logs may serve as more discriminative features in event matching. Therefore, a novel approach is proposed to address the above problem by leveraging event structures as discriminative feature for heterogeneous event mapping. Specifically, the event structure captures behavioral constraints in event logs to provide a robust foundation for event mapping. To enhance matching efficiency, we devise an advanced A* search algorithm with a tight upper bound, which effectively prunes nonoptimal mappings and avoid the space explosion problem. Furthermore, a prototype system is implemented that automatically calculates the optimal mapping score between heterogeneous events. Based on this, extensive experiments on both real and synthetic data sets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.

These facilitate the automation of farm operations performed manually under greenhouse structures. During chemical application, farm workers are exposed to toxic chemicals and experience fatigue and drudgery with traditional spraying equipment. The traditional application methods apply chemicals uniformly, without considering the spatial variability of the canopy, which adversely impacts the economy and environment. To mitigate these, a telerobotic target-specific pesticide applicator (robot) was designed and developed for real-time application of pesticides based on the presence and height of foliage. It consists of a prime mover, an ultrasonic sensor-based target-specific pesticide application system with electronic control for navigation and spraying systems. The robot is operated from outside the greenhouse by an operator sitting in a safe environment through real-time video. The percentage reduction in pesticide use during greenhouse field evaluation was 24.95% with activation compared to without the activation of sensors. The theoretical field capacity, effective field capacity, and field efficiency of the robot are 0.20 ha h<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, 0.15 ha h<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, and 75% respectively. The maximum range of wireless communication between the operator and the robot was 121 m. The root mean square error of deviation from a straight-line path was 55 mm. In the context of user interface design for human–robot interaction, two display devices (a dashboard display and a first-person view head-mounted display [HMD]) were evaluated, along with peripheral vision (single view and adjustable multiple views). Results showed that adjustable multiple views with the HMD demonstrated statistically significant improvements in effectiveness, efficiency, and system usability scores compared with single view and dashboard display. The potential dermal exposures of the operators with a rechargeable knapsack sprayer (RKP) and with a developed robot during spraying activity were 53.75 ± 0.99 mL h<sup>−1</sup> and zero, respectively.

The operating cost of the developed robot was 1.74 times higher than that of the RKP, but it offers a more precise pesticide application, reducing chemical wastage and environmental impact.

Rotorcraft are poised to become essential vehicles for future deep space exploration missions. In this paper, an invariant extended Kalman filter (IEKF) and geometric adaptive neural controllers (GANC) are introduced for the state estimation and trajectory tracking of the Mars quadrotor. The IEKF fuses the IMU and depth camera information to estimate the optimal states of the quadrotor, which are used as the inputs of the trajectory tracking controller.

Especially, for underpowered situations, an event-trigger neural model predictive contouring controller (ET-NMPCC) is designed to optimize the control inputs, foresee and adapt to potential future external forces, and ultimately achieve higher trajectory tracking accuracy.
