Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) provide a flexible framework for robotic trajectory generation, offering adaptability, robustness to disturbances, and modulation of predefined motions. Yet achieving reliable spatial coupling among multiple DMPs in...

Value factorization methods have become a standard tool for cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) in the centralized-training, decentralized-execution (CTDE) setting. QMIX (a monotonic mixing network for value factorization), in parti...

Achieving reliable and real-time inverse kinematics (IK) for 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) spherical-wrist manipulators remains a significant challenge. Analytical formulations often struggle with complex geometries and modeling errors, and standard nu...

A possible classification for organization purposes: [...]

The exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a structural robot that uses the actuator to control, so as to construct a human–robot collaborative rehabilitation training system to realize the perception and decoding of patients and promotes the reco...

Agricultural robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming essential to building more sustainable, efficient, and resilient food systems. As climate change, food security pressures, and labour shortages intensify, the integration of intellig...

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) require robust, efficient path planning to operate safely in complex, often dynamic environments (e.g., logistics, transportation, and healthcare). This systematic review focuses on advanced metaheuristic and learning-...

Recent advancements in prosthetic technology have increasingly focused on enhancing dexterity and autonomy through intelligent control systems. Vision-based approaches offer promising results for enabling prosthetic hands to interact more naturally w...

Hand exoskeletons are increasingly used to support post-stroke reach-to-grasp, yet most intention-detection strategies trigger assistance from local hand events without considering the synergy between proximal arm transport and distal hand shaping. W...

Experiencing weakness or paralysis on one side of the body is a common consequence of stroke, with approximately 8 out of 10 patients experiencing some degree of Hemiparesis. Rehabilitation through physiotherapy and occupational therapy is one of the...
