There are many examples of cases where access to improved models of human behavior and cognition has allowed the creation of robots that can better interact with humans, and not least in road vehicle automation, this is a rapidly growing area of research. Human–robot interaction (HRI) therefore provides an important applied setting for human behavior modeling—but given the vast … [Read more...] about Models of Human Behavior for Human–Robot Interaction and Automated Driving: How Accurate Do the Models of Human Behavior Need to Be?

Finite Element Analysis-Based Soft Robotic Modeling: Simulating a Soft Actuator in SOFA
Soft robotics modeling is a research topic that is evolving fast. Many techniques are present in literature, but most of them require analytical models with a lot of equations that are time consuming, hard to resolve, and not so easy to handle. For this reason, the help of a soft mechanics simulator is essential in this field. This article presents a tutorial on how to build a … [Read more...] about Finite Element Analysis-Based Soft Robotic Modeling: Simulating a Soft Actuator in SOFA
A Novel High-Torque Bidirectional Curl Pneumatic Muscle With Stretchable Sheath: Design and Finite Element Method Analysis
This article presents design and modeling of a novel high-torque bidirectional curl pneumatic artificial muscle (BCPAM) consisting of two identical inflatable semielliptic cylindrical chambers in parallel and symmetric arrangement. Each chamber is enclosed by a hyperelastic silicone (polymer) bladder encircled by an anisotropic elastic fabric sheath in circumference and … [Read more...] about A Novel High-Torque Bidirectional Curl Pneumatic Muscle With Stretchable Sheath: Design and Finite Element Method Analysis
The ILIAD Safety Stack: Human-Aware Infrastructure-Free Navigation of Industrial Mobile Robots
Current intralogistics services require keeping up with e-commerce demands, reducing delivery times and waste, and increasing overall flexibility. As a consequence, the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and, more recently, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for logistics operations is steadily increasing. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about The ILIAD Safety Stack: Human-Aware Infrastructure-Free Navigation of Industrial Mobile Robots
