Collaborative robotics is a possible solution to the problem of musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) in industry, but efficiently designing such robots remains an issue because …

Disc cutters are representative cutting tools in tunnel boring machines (TBMs). They are
installed at the cutter head of the TBM to disintegrate rocks during tunnel boring. Disc cutters …

This paper is to review and discuss the current state-of-the-art and future direction of the
evolutionary robotics in its deformable morphing and multivariable stiffness. Structural …

The evolutionary-aided design process is a method to find solutions to design and
optimisation problems. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are applied to search for optimal …

This paper presents an efficient and fast method for fine tuning the controller parameters of
robot manipulators in constrained motion. The stability of the robotic system is proved using …

Modular manipulators gained popularity for their implicit feature of “reconfigurability”—that
is, the ability to serve multiple applications by adopting different configurations. As reported …

Changing the cutter is an essential procedure in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations.
The danger and low efficiency of manually replacing the disc cutter has led engineering …

Evolutionary robotics (ER) has emerged as a fast growing field in the last two decades and
has earned the attention of a number of researchers. Principles of biological evolution are …

The increasing utilization of artificial intelligence and robots in various services in healthcare
makes robots as preferred intelligent agent model. Robotic evolution produces the optimal …

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) and Nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) are
mostly actuated by direct forcing due to electrostatic excitation. In general, the electrostatic …
