TORVEastro robot design is presented with a built prototype in LARM2 (Laboratory of Robot Mechatronics) for testing and characterizing its functionality for service in space stations. Several robot astronauts are designed with bulky human-like struct...

The capabilities of collaborative robotics have transcended the conventional abilities of decentralised robots as it provides benefits such as scalability, flexibility and robustness. Collaborative robots can operate safely in complex human environme...

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that affects children from a very young age and is characterized by persistent deficits in social, communicational, and behavioral abilities. Since there is no cure for autism, domain experts focus...

Peer review is the driving force of journal development, and reviewers are gatekeepers who ensure that Robotics maintains its standards for the high quality of its published papers [...]

Multifunctional Robot On Topological Notions (MROTN) is a research program that has as one of its goals to develop qualitative algorithms that make navigation decisions. This article presents new research from MROTN that extends previous results by a...

In the design of educational robots, it appears to be undecided as to whether robots should show social behaviors and look human-like or whether such cues are insignificant for learning. We conducted an experiment with different designs of social rob...

The Agri_q is an electric unmanned ground vehicle specifically designed for precision agriculture applications. Since it is expected to traverse on unstructured terrain, especially uneven terrain, or to climb obstacles or slopes, an eight-wheeled loc...

In this research, the structural synthesis of lower-class robot manipulators with general constraint one is investigated. The number of constraints d = 1 and the mobility number λ = 5 for sphere–sphere and sphere–plane combination...

Advances in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have paved the way for progressively higher levels of intelligence and autonomy, supporting new modes of operation, such as the one-to-many (OTM) concept, where a single human operator is responsible for mo...

Education is facing challenges to keep pace with the widespread introduction of robots and digital technologies in industry and everyday life. These challenges necessitate new approaches to impart students at all levels of education with the knowledg...
