This paper introduces a calibration-free, gravity-aware SOAP descriptor that achieves superior floor detection accuracy (90.0% F1) and enables real-time reactive locomotion and obstacle avoidance on a humanoid robot by leveraging IMU-aligned geometry without requiring labeled data or environment-specific parameters.
This systematic critical review evaluates diverse soft robotic actuator technologies for post-stroke hand rehabilitation, establishing a comparative framework that highlights the trade-offs between pneumatic performance and cable-driven portability while identifying critical gaps in clinical validation and standardized benchmarking.
This study proposes a hybrid thermodynamic and machine learning framework to demonstrate that R134a/CuO nano-refrigerants significantly enhance vapor compression refrigeration system performance, achieving optimal efficiency at 0.60 wt.% concentration with a COP of 3.01.
This paper proposes an adaptive power-law sharpening and K-means clustering framework to overcome eddy current diffusion-induced boundary broadening, enabling high-precision quantification and localization of minute corrosion defects in aircraft riveted structures via pulsed eddy current testing.
This study evaluates and compares the performance of Hamming and BCH error control coding techniques, demonstrating that while Hamming codes offer a computationally efficient solution for single-bit error correction, BCH codes provide superior capability for correcting multiple-bit errors in noisy digital communication channels.
This study demonstrates through reduced-scale model tests that geocell reinforcement significantly enhances the bearing capacity and reduces settlement of square footings on rubber–sand mixtures, with optimal performance achieved through specific reinforcement depths and dimensions, particularly when using larger rubber granules that benefit from improved interlocking within the geocell apertures.
This study demonstrates that sandwich-type phase change gypsum boards, fabricated with a palmitic acid–lauric acid eutectic core, significantly enhance the thermal inertia and dynamic performance of building envelopes by effectively reducing temperature peaks, delaying heat transfer, and stabilizing indoor temperatures compared to ordinary gypsum boards.
This study reveals that drying-wetting cycles cause non-uniform, multi-stage mechanical degradation in coal pillar dams, primarily driven by the dissolution of hydrophilic minerals which transforms micropores into macropores and shifts the failure mode from micro-tensile cracking to macro-shear sliding, thereby compromising the structural stability of underground reservoirs.
This paper proposes LBD-YOLO, a lightweight and high-precision object detection framework that integrates GSConv, ADown, BoTNet, and BiFPN modules to effectively identify bolt damage in steel truss structures, achieving 97.7% mAP@50 while significantly reducing computational costs for efficient edge deployment.
This paper presents and experimentally validates a high-gain, non-isolated switched inductor SEPIC converter designed to efficiently interface low-voltage renewable energy sources with high-voltage loads by achieving superior voltage conversion ratios while maintaining the standard SEPIC's benefits of non-inverted output and wide operating range.
