Humanoid robotics is moving from industrial and service settings into intimate domains of family life, making robotic surrogacy and robotic co-parenting plausible but morally contested futures. This paper examines how prospective users perceive the potential role of humanoid robots in reproductio...

Mechanical characterisation of aluminium extrusion products is commonly performed using tensile testing. While this method provides reliable measurements of strength and ductility, it requires extensive specimen machining, relatively large material volumes, and is inherently destructive. These limitations can&#...

The increasing use of recycled aluminium in industrial applications is requiring greater tolerance to impurity elements, such as iron which tends to form FE-rich intermetallic compounds (Fe-IMCs) during solidification [1,2] ...

This paper presents an FPGA-based real-time implementation of the robust Chinese remainder theorem (RCRT) for signal reconstruction in two-channel modulo analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) systems. A hardware-oriented formulation of the RCRT algorithm is developed, removing modular inversion to enable a&#...

Anomaly detection in human-driven vehicle telemetry is complicated by mixed uncertainty: nominal deviations may arise either from stochastic driver behavior or from genuine departures from learned vehicle dynamics. Conventional forecastingbased detectors typically treat both as predictive error, which can&...

Robotic assembly of large-scale aerospace components demands millimeter-level accuracy under intermittent contacts, while collecting rich interaction data remains costly and risky. This paper presents a demonstration-guided residual reinforcement learning framework for precision assembly. A diffusion-based action-chunkin...

Sexual violence (SV) is more likely to be disclosed to friends, family members and partner(s) (ONS, 2021), though less is known regarding these informal disclosure experiences compared to formal disclosures (for example, to the police). This victim-survivor-led study explored the ways in...
