PARTS—A 2D Self-Reconfigurable Programmable Mechanical Structure
Modular self-reconfigurable robots hold the promise of being capable of performing a wide variety of tasks. However, many systems fall short of either delivering this promised functionality due to constraints in system architecture or validating it on functional hardware prototypes. This paper demonstrates the functional capabilities of the Planar Adaptive Robot with Triangular Structure (PARTS) and documents the versatility of this robot system using a holistic approach that combines simulatio…

Bye Kalmar. First train journey leg of today: from Kalmar to Emmaboda with this SJ regional train in all-black livery (to Göteborg) consisting of a Rc6 loco pulling a set of 80s carriages (renovated in late 90s I think). Even if “regional” this train sadly requires a seat reservation. At least according to SJ and DB, even if Rail Planner claims reservation is optional. Oh well, only 35 SEK. #Interrail

I took the "shorter" route when I went a few years ago.
"There are other routes ... that lead to Mt. Whitney. They begin at less heavily-used trailheads, but require a much longer hike to reach the summit. The High Sierra Trail leaves from Giant Forest on the west side of Sequoia National Park, and is about 60 miles (100 km) one-way. It takes a minimum of 6 days (one way) or 10 days (round trip) to complete."
Met people on the trail who did that. Not for me.…

RobotCycle: Assessing Cycling Safety in Urban Environments
This paper introduces RobotCycle, a novel ongoing project that leverages Autonomous Vehicle (AV) research to investigate how road infrastructure influences cyclist behaviour and safety during real-world journeys. The project's requirements were defined in collaboration with key stakeholders, including city planners, cyclists, and policymakers, informing the design of risk and safety metrics and the data collection criteria. We propose a data-driven approach relying on a novel, rich dataset of d…
