The interaction of robot teams and single human in teleoperation scenarios is beneficial in cooperative tasks, for example, the manipulation of heavy and large objects in remote or dangerous environments. The main control challenge of the interaction...
Recently, several insect- and hummingbird-inspired tailless flapping wing robots have been introduced. However, their flight dynamics, which are likely to be similar to that of their biological counterparts, remain yet to be fully understood. We prop...

To overcome the problem that soft-sensing model cannot be updated with the bioprocess changes, this article proposed a soft-sensing modeling method which combined fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) algorithm with least squares support vector machine theo...
This study describes the design of a new force measuring array with a quasi-cylindrical surface for measuring the 3D ground reaction forces of animals climbing on a surface with high curvature. This force-measuring array was assembled from 24 individ...
Physical contact inevitably occurs during robot interaction with outside environments. A robot should have the ability to detect and distinguish whether a physical interaction between a human and the robot is contact or collision, so as to ensure hum...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Monitoring of changes in respiratory rate provides information on a patient's psychophysical state. This paper presents a respiratory rate detection method based on analysis of signals from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based ...
Moving in groups is an amazing spectacle of collective behaviour in fish and has attracted considerable interest from many fields, including biology, physics and engineering. Although robotic fish have been well studied, including algorithms to simul...
