According to news reporting fromMadrid, Spain, by NewsRx jou rnalists, research stated, "There are two main areas in which the Internetof Sh ips (IoS) can help: firstly, the production stage, in all its phases, from mater ial bids to manufacture,and secondly, the operation of the ship."The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Universidad Politecni ca de Madrid:"Intelligent ship management requires a lot of information, as doe s the shipbuilding process. In thesetwo phases of the ship's life cycle, IoS ac ts as a key to the keyhole. IoS tools include sensors, processinformation and r eal-time decision-making, fog computing, or delegated processes in the cloud. Th e keypoint to address this challenge is the design phase. Getting the design pr ocess right will help in both areas,reducing costs and making agile use of tech nology to achieve a highly efficient and optimal outcome. Butthis raises a lot of new questions that need to be addressed: At what stage should we start adding controlsensors? Which sensors are best suited to our solution? Is there anythi ng that offers more than simpleidentification? As we begin the process of answe ring all these questions, we realize that a Computer AidedDesign (CAD) tool, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI), mixed in a single tool, could significant ly help inall these processes."

According to news reporting out ofHangzhou, People's Republic of China, b y NewsRx editors, research stated, "A weeding robot's workingrange and accuracy are vital indicators of the robot. Selective weeding robots can accurately weed andhave higher control requirements."Financial support for this research came from The "Pioneer" and "Leading Goose" R & D Program ofZhejiang.Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang Agricultur e & Forestry University,"We designed the dynamic coverage algorit hm for mechanical selective weeding robot in differentweed distributions. The r obot comprises a control, actuator, and mobile module. The actuator moduleinclu des a four-degree-of-freedom mechanical work device. It removes weeds under crop s. The mechanicalwork device was resolved through the D-H matrix. It provided a reference for robot control and verifiedthe feasibility of the mechanism by tr ajectory simulation. The dynamic coverage algorithm autonomouslyselects the bes t algorithm by the coverage of each area. The result shows the coverage path for differentpercentages of weeds. The dynamic coverage algorithm demonstrates goo d dynamic performance indifferent weed distributions. The result compares the d ynamic coverage algorithm with the other threealgorithms (BCD algorithm, Greedy algorithm, and Segmentation-based algorithm). Our algorithm reducesthe average path of 10.9%, 16.5%, and 21.5%. Finally , we tested the robot in an indoor environment. Itcould successfully avoid the crop to complete the precise weeding work."

According to news reportingoriginating in Detroit, Michigan, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "To avoid risking the lives ofvictims and rescue team personnel in the event of disasters like earthquakes, volcanic erup tions, hurricanes,etc., search and rescue (SAR) robots are increasingly incorpo rated into the operation. One ofthe major challenges in integrating SAR robots into rescue operations is the potentially severely damagedinfrastructure within the disaster site."The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Det roit Mercy, "Acritical component of this is a functional communication system w hich is essential for exchanging realtimeinformation between the robots in the field and the base station (BS). Given that there might beeither limited cover age or a complete failure of standard communication systems in a severely affect eddisaster site, a novel disaster management system named Titan disaster manage ment system (DMS),which is based on low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) LoRa technology is proposed. Its developmentconsists of three solutions, which are T itan coordination, communication, and navigation solutions. TheTitan coordinati on solution based on a robot platoon configuration has been developed to assist the rescueteam in establishing a BS within the disaster-affected area. The vict ims, the BS, and the SAR robots mayall communicate with one another using the T itan communication system. For guiding the SAR robotthrough the devastated disa ster scene, the Titan navigation solution named fuzzy inference system vectorfi eld histogram (FISVFH) was developed."
