In this paper, we present a soft modular block inspired by tensegrity structures that can form
load-bearing structures through self-assembly. The block comprises a stellated compliant …

The intrinsic modularity and reconfigurability of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems
confer advantages such as versatility, fault tolerance, and economic efficacy, thereby …

We introduce the framework of reality-assisted evolution to summarize a growing trend
towards combining model-based and model-free approaches to improve the design of …

The Emergency Department (ED) is a stressful, safety-critical environment, which is often
overcrowded, noisy, chaotic, and understaffed. The built environment plays a key role in …

Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming highly supportive in innovative technological solutions
for assisting impaired people. Some of these IoT solutions are still in a prototy** phase …

An adaptive fuzzy backstep** optimal control method is developed for modular robot
manipulators (MRMs) via value iteration (VI). This paper adopts joint torque feedback (JTF) …
