This paper presents a novel six-axis force/torque (F/T) sensor based on inductive sensing technology. Unlike conventional strain gauge-based sensors that require direct contact and external amplification, the proposed sensor utilizes…
Existing bilateral teleoperation platforms still rely on costly rigid six-axis force/torque sensors, tightly coupled leader-follower hardware, and kilohertz control loops. We present a Cartesian bilateral framework built on the…
Robotic systems show significant promise for water environmental sensing applications such as water quality monitoring, pollution mapping and biodiversity data collection. Conventional deployment methods often disrupt fragile ecosystems,…
Water Distribution Systems(WDS) are critical infrastructures that deliver potable water to residential areas. Incidents to pipelines cause water loss and contamination in pipelines. Hence, water quality monitoring is one of the requirements…
Autonomous Braking and Throttle control is key in developing safe driving systems for the future. There exists a need for autonomous vehicles to negotiate a multi-agent environment while ensuring safety and comfort. A Deep Reinforcement…
Current control strategies for powered lower limb prostheses often lack awareness of the environment and the user's intended interactions with it. This limitation becomes particularly apparent in complex terrains. Obstacle negotiation, a…
Ultra-reliable low-latency Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications are needed to meet the extreme requirements of enhanced driving applications. Millimeter-Wave (24.25-52.6 GHz) or sub-THz (>100 GHz) V2X communications are a viable…
Due to the increasing number of sensors deployed in modern vehicles, Intra-Vehicular Wireless Sensor Networks (IVWSNs) have recently received a lot of attention in the automotive industry as they can reduce the amount of wiring harness…
As the Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications become more and more pervasive, IoT end nodes are requiring more and more computational power within a few mW of power envelope, coupled with high-speed and energy-efficient inter-chip…
