SERPENS: A HIGHLY COMPLIANT LOW-COST ROS-BASED SNAKE ROBOT WITH SERIES ELASTIC ACTUATORS, STEREOSCOPIC VISION AND A SCREW-LESS ASSEMBLY MECHANISM

Serpens: A Highly Compliant Low-Cost ROS-Based Snake Robot with Series Elastic Actuators, Stereoscopic Vision and a Screw-Less Assembly Mechanism

Snake robot locomotion in a cluttered environment where the snake robot utilises a sensory-perceptual system to perceive the surrounding operational environment for means of propulsion is defined as perception-driven obstacle-aided locomotion (POAL).From a control point of view, achieving POAL with traditional rigidly-actuated robots is challenging

The Ozone Layer and Metered Dose Inhalers

The stratospheric ozone layer plays a crucial role in protecting living organisms against ultraviolet radiation.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) contained in metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) contribute to ozone depletion and in accordance with the Ointment Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer established 10 years ago, phase-out stragei
