Abstract Electronics and mechatronics waste is an exponentially increasing environmental issue, especially for wearable devices, due to their widespread diffusion into society short life cycle. To promote enormous benefits (e.g., in assisting visually impaired individuals) a sustainable way, biobased and/or biodegradable organic materials should be used instead of traditional components. This manuscript presents multidisciplinary approach, which bridges science mechatronics, propose the...
Walking aids for individuals with musculoskeletal frailty or motor disabilities must ensure adequate physical support and assistance to their users. To this end, sensor-enabled human state monitoring estimation are crucial. This paper proposes an innovative approach assessing users' stability while walking WANDER, a novel gait assistive device, by exploiting the correlation between eXtrapolated Center of Mass ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
The System-on-Chip revolution has not impacted the field of safety-critical systems as widely rest electronics market. However, it is nowadays acknowledged that sharing resources between applications different criticality a key leverage to reduce costs and improve performance. Certification hosting such mixed-criticality application sets requires sufficient isolation levels, i.e. low-critical task must cause fault in high-critical task, especially temporal fault, which likely when several...
For mobile robots, navigating cluttered or dynamic environments often necessitates non-prehensile manipulation, particularly when faced with objects that are too large, irregular, fragile to grasp. The unpredictable behavior and varying physical properties of these significantly complicate manipulation tasks. To address this challenge, manuscript proposes a novel Reactive Pushing Strategy. This strategy allows robot dynamically adjust its base movements in real-time achieve successful...
