The Eurobarometer Survey of the EAPC Task Force on Development Palliative Care in Europe is part a programme work to produce comprehensive information provision palliative care across Europe. Aim: To identify barriers development Western Method: A qualitative survey was undertaken amongst boards national associations, eliciting opinions opportunities for, and to, development. By July 2006, 44/52 (85%) European countries had responded survey; we report here results from 22/25 (88%) Analysis:...
Actuators based on soft elastomers offer significant advantages to the field of robotics, providing greater adaptability, improving collision resilience, and enabling shape‐morphing. Thus, fluidic actuators have seen an expansion in their fields application. Closed‐cycle hydraulic systems are pressure agnostic, deployment extremely high‐pressure conditions, such as deep‐sea environments. However, not been widely adopted unmanned underwater vehicle control surfaces for exploration due...
Soft Robotic Morphing Wing for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles robots underwater exploration are a powerful tool to assess ecological health and survey deep-sea environments autonomously. This cover illustrates an unmanned vehicle featuring soft, hydraulically actuated wings deployed in the subsurface ocean of Enceladus. The incorporated soft have been designed be pressure agnostic, impact resilient, highly efficient, enable autonomous surveying large volumes. For further details, see article...
This paper underscores the importance of environmental monitoring, and specifically freshwater ecosystems, which play a critical role in sustaining life global economy. Despite their importance, insufficient data availability prevents comprehensive understanding these thereby impeding informed decision-making concerning preservation. Aerial-aquatic robots are identified as effective tools for sensing, offering rapid deployment avoiding need using ships manned teams. To advance field aerial...
Interplanetary CubeSat missions are currently becoming more popular, with a significant number of recently planned missions. The context this paper is Mars mission, starting from parking orbit around Earth: the adoption chemical propulsion system for Earth-Mars transfer phase investigated, considering recent technological developments CubeSats. A trade-off type and propellant results in choice mono-propellant adopting HAN-based AF-M315E (ASCENT). main challenge to fit inside standardised...
