Abstract:
Human-Centered Robotics aims to use robotic devices to improve our life. In Europe alone, around 650.000 people live with limb amputations, 40 Mio. have jobs with high of lumbar injuries, and 40 Mio. are 80+ years. Worldwide, active prostheses, exoskeletons, and service robots could help improve these people’s lives. However, their adoption is unfortunately strongly hindered by technological limitations in the actuators powering these devices. Backdrivability characterizes an actuator’s ability to be driven from the load side, and it is a crucial property to enabling capable human-centered rob

Abstract:
Over the last years, capabilities of robotic systems have quantitatively and qualitatively improved. But going beyond isolated robotic systems, the integration and interoperability of robotic capabilities in complex work processes remains a major challenge. This lack of tools to integrate robots needs to be addressed on technical, semantic and organizational level. In the ROBxTASK research project, we developed an approach to support cooperation between different types of users in order to enable domain experts, with no robotic know-how, to work with robot-assisted workflows.

Devices that perform cardiac mapping and ablation to treat atrial fibrillation provide an effective means of treatment.

The design of a mechanical system is often the result of an optimization process, aimed to obtain the best performances inside a given task space under fixed constraints. Due to the unilateral actuation, cable-based devices possess specific features that make some of the tools commonly used in robotics completely unsuitable, thus requiring the definition of specific tools for analysis and design rules. Even though several examples of geometrical, kinematic and dynamic performance indices have been introduced as analysis tools in the last years, only few authors proposed rigorous design m

Abstract:
Because horses are animals of flight, bone fractures in the horses' limbs are quite common. When foals fracture a bone in their leg, the healthy leg is often compromised. During convalescence, the animal tends to overstress the healthy leg in an attempt to relieve the stress on the injured leg. This results in angular limb deformities, lax tendons, laminitis, and similar problems. These problems could possibly be avoided through a load-bearing device that would relieve the additional weight from the foal's limbs. <p>In order to allow for in-vitro testing of such a load-bearing device, this the

Abstract:
A pneumatic-driven soft robotic actuator made from braided nylon coated with silicone elastomer was created using a new fabrication process, with the aim of providing haptic feedback to the fingers in teleoperation applications. The resulting haptic actuator was designed to be flexible, lightweight, and wearable, offering a comfortable user experience. Through the manipulation of the braiding angle, multiple devices were fabricated, focusing on their effective ness in transmitting haptic sensations to the user’s finger.

Abstract:
In recent years, innovative mobility and shifts in travel and consumption behavior are changing how people access and use the curb. Shared mobility—the shared use of a vehicle, bicycle, scooter, or other mode—coupled with outdoor dining, curbside pick-up, and robotic delivery are creating new needs related to the planning, management, and enforcement of curb access. This study examines curb planning and management from several angles, such as safety, social equity, and multimodal connections. This research employs a multi-method approach to identify the changing needs for curb space management

Abstract:
This publication documents Health Futures, a speculative co-design project led by Futures Collective Dundee in collaboration with young people across the city. Through a series of creative workshops, participants aged between early teens and young adulthood were invited to imagine, design, and prototype health innovations for the year 2049. The project employed speculative design methods—including futurecasting, artefact creation, and scenario-based thinking—to support meaningful youth engagement in health technology research. Outputs included a range of conceptual artefacts, such as robotic c

Abstract:
Fossil fuel power plants are complex systems containing multiple components that create extreme environments for the purpose of extracting usable energy. Failures in the system can lead to increased down time for the plant, reduction of power and significant cost for repairs. In the past, inspections and maintenance of the plant's superheater tubes has been predominantly manual, laborious, and extremely time consuming. This is due to the pipe's small diameter size (between 1.3 and 7.6 cm) and the coiled structure of the tubing. In addition, the tubes are often stacked close to each other, limi
