A brain-computer interface (BCI) establishes a pathway for information transmission between a human (or animal) and an external device. It can be used to control devices such as prosthetic limbs and robotic arms, which in turn assist, rehabilitate, a...
Modern bio-inspired robotic fish design increasingly focuses on integrating biological inspiration with engineering-oriented structural solutions to enhance locomotion performance and meet practical application demands. Among these, the crank-linkage...
When the medicine-picking robot grasps drugs, its flexibility and accuracy in grasping detection mainly depend on the precision of visual guidance for the robot. The result of grasping detection directly determines whether the grasping task can be su...
This paper presents a novel robust six-degree-of-freedom trajectory tracking control strategy for tilt-rotor quadrotors operating under uncertainties and disturbances. The key contribution lies in a unified framework that synergistically co-designs a...
With the rapid advancement of multi-sensor systems, the capabilities of robots in complex scenes are gradually improving. A multi-sensor system state estimation algorithm based on error-state Kalman filter is proposed to address the issues of noise i...
Recent advancements in professional baseball have led to the introduction of the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system, or "robot umpires," which utilize machine learning, computer vision, and precise tracking technologies to automate ball-strike calls....
