چکیده
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2017.01.012 The first record of hand pollination was in a relief from an Assyrian dynasty, 800 BC, now preserved in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. In the relief, shown in Figure 1A, two winged deities gingerly fertilize a date palm tree by using a male flower. Nearly 3,000 years later, pollination has been automated. In this issue of Chem, Chechetka et al. deliver pollen via a remote-controlled robot covered in hairs and a sticky goo.

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملImprovement of position measurement for 6R robot using magnetic encoder AS5045
Recording the variation of joint angles as a feedback to the control unit is frequent in articulated arms. In this paper, magnetic sensor AS5045, which is a contactless encoder, is employed to measure joint angles of 6R robot and the performance of that is examined. The sensor has a low volume, two digital outputs and provides a high resolution measurement for users; furthermore its zero positi...
متن کاملReal-time augmented feedback benefits robotic laparoscopic training.
Robotic laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery for treatment of abdominal pathologies. However, current training techniques rely on subjective evaluation. There is a lack of research on the type of tasks that should be used for training. Robotic surgical systems also do not currently have the ability to provide feedback to the surgeon regarding success of performing ...
