In recent years, the aging population has become a critical social issue globally, with the proportion of elderly individuals living alone, often referred to as empty nesters, increasing significantly. As researchers in industrial design and human-computer interaction, we have observed that this demographic often experiences loneliness, anxiety, and other psychological distress due to lack of… Read more: Design of Companion Robots for Empty Nesters Based on Emotional Computation

In modern construction and manufacturing, steel reinforcement bars (rebar) are fundamental materials. Their processing often involves two distinct yet frequently sequential operations: grasping for positioning and handling, followed by shearing to a specified length. Traditional methods typically separate these tasks, relying on manual handling or dedicated, single-function tools. This separation leads to operational inefficiency, increased… Read more: Integrated Grasping and Shearing End Effector for Rebar
