The rise of mass production and the resulting accumulation of end-of-life (EoL) products
present a growing challenge in waste management and highlight the need for efficient …

Driven by advancements in Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins (DT), and
cyber–physical systems (CPS), there is a growing interest in the digitalizing of asset integrity …

This paper studies the locomotion of a robot fitted with flexible rubber tracks while driving
and climbing over rigid horizontal and inclined surfaces. We developed a model that …

Shared control can help in teleoperated object manipulation by assisting with the execution
of the user's intention. To this end, robust and prompt intention estimation is needed, which …

In real world applications, robotic solutions remain impractical due to the challenges that
arise in unknown and unstructured environments. To perform complex manipulation tasks in …

Navigating and interacting in a narrow space, especially where visual and range sensors do
not work, is challenging for autonomous robotic vehicles. In such a scenario, collisions with …

Mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) allows remote users' access and mobility in a range of
local environments. MRP devices have been adopted in societally significant domains such …

In this work, we introduce iviz, a mobile application for visualizing data in the Robot
Operating System (ROS). In the last few years, the popularity of ROS has grown enormously …
