Patterns of collective escape of a bird flock from a predator are fascinating, but difficult to study under natural conditions because neither prey nor predator is under experimental control. We resolved this problem by using an artificial predator (...
The objective of this research is to simulate an automatic fuelling system using a PLC LogixPro simulation. The system includes the "FASS" concept, which is Fast, Accurate, Safe and Simple, to allow car users to have an efficient fuel filling system....

A pilot study was undertaken between March 2019 and September 2021, loaning socially assistive robots (SARs) for a 7-day trial to older people living alone in China. Quantitative assessments of participants' acceptance of technology and loneliness we...
To improve the adaptability of soft robots to the environment and achieve reliable attachment on various surfaces such as smooth and rough, this study draws inspiration from the collaborative attachment strategy of insects, cats, and other biological...
The current robot path planning methods only use global or local methods, which is difficult to meet the real-time and integrity requirements, and can not avoid dynamic obstacles. Based on this, this study will use the improved A-star global planning...
The transition to Industry 4.0 and 5.0 underscores the need for integrating humans into manufacturing processes, shifting the focus towards customization and personalization rather than traditional mass production. However, human performance during t...
