Abstract Nuclear facilities have a regulatory requirement to measure radiation levels within Post Operational Clean Out (POCO) around nuclear each year, resulting in trend towards robotic deployments gain an improved understanding during decommissioning phases. The UK Decommissioning Authority supports the view that human‐in‐the‐loop (HITL) are solution improve procedures and reduce risks characterisation of sites. authors present novel implementation Cyber‐Physical System (CPS) deployed...
Abstract The nuclear energy sector can benefit from mobile robots for remote inspection and handling, reducing human exposure to radiation. Advances in cyber–physical systems have improved robotic platforms this through digital twin (DT) technology. DTs enhance situational awareness robot operators, crucial safety the sector, their value is anticipated increase with growing complexity of systems. primary motivation work rapidly develop evaluate a fleet interface that accounts these benefits...
Abstract The prime focus of this work is to estimate stability and control derivatives an airship in a completely nonlinear environment. A complete six degrees freedom model has its aerodynamic as functions angle attack. Estimating the parameters environment challenging it demands exhaustive dataset that could cover entire regime operation airship. In work, data generation achieved by simulating mathematical for different trim conditions obtained from continuation analysis. simulated using...

The knee joint is a complex structure that plays significant role in the human lower limb for locomotion activities daily living. However, we are still not quite there yet where can replicate functions of bones and attached ligaments to degree success. This paper presents current trend development joints based on bio-inspiration concepts modern bio-inspired research field prostheses, power-assist suits mobile robots. also reviews existing literature describe major turning points during...
Movement within the human body is made possible by joints connecting two or more elements of musculoskeletal system. Losing one these connections can seriously limit mobility, which in turn lead to depression and other mental issues. This particularly pertinent due a dramatic increase number lower limb amputations resulting from trauma diseases such as diabetes. The ideal prostheses should re-establish functions movement missing part patient. As result, prosthetic solution has be tested...

Mobile robots are increasingly being used in noisy environments for social purposes, e.g. to provide support healthcare or public spaces. Since these also operate beyond human sight, the question arises as how different robot types, ambient noise cognitive engagement impacts detection of by their sound. To address this research gap, we conducted a user study measuring auditory distances wheeled (Turtlebot 2i) and quadruped (Unitree Go 1), which emit consequential sounds when moving....

The presence of robots amongst pedestrians affects them causing deviation to their trajectories. Existing methods suffer from the limitation not being able objectively measure this in unseen cases. In order solve issue, we introduce a simulation framework that repetitively measures and benchmarks trajectory due driven by different navigation algorithms. We simulate behavior using an enhanced Social Force Model (SFM) with robot force component accounts for influence on pedestrian behavior,...
The prime objective of this work is to estimate stability and control derivatives an airship. complete, nonlinear mathematical model aerial vehicles has its aero as a function angle attack.
