Humanitarian Supply Chains
In humanitarian logistics, efficiently evacuating people during disasters poses a significant challenge. Comprehensive plans are essential for moving individuals from affected areas, encompassing both pre- and post-disaster phases. These plans must optimize resource usage, including public transportation, and consider those with mobility challenges.

Robot Target Recognition and Grasping Pose Estimation
The deployment of collaborative robots on a large scale in intelligent factories has increased with the convenience of human–robot collaboration to replace manual labor in undertaking 3C (Computer, Communication, and Consumer Electronics) manufacturing and intelligent handling. As a result, the intelligence, speed, and reliability of these robots have become core factors that impact the productivity and production quality of intelligent factories. Objectively sorting objects is a vital and habitual responsibility in intelligent production lines featuring collaborative robots.

Concentrated Solar Power Technology
The modernization, efficiency, and decarbonization of the energy supply systems are among the new challenges to be faced in the coming decades to achieve the targets and objectives dictated by European strategic policies. Despite the countless benefits related to renewable energy sources (RES) integration, this brings key challenges to the power system, such as the risk of imbalance between energy generation and demand, sudden changes in flows in transmission lines with a need for expensive and time-consuming upgrades, and the withdrawal of conventional generation systems with consequent demands for new solutions and innovation to support grid services. A potential solution to limit the huge intermittence and fluctuation in power generation from RES is Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology integrated with thermal energy storage.

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Risks from Supply-Chain
The technology called carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is important for capturing CO2 emissions before they enter the air. Because everyone wants to stop global warming by reducing CO2 emissions, CCUS is an important and emerging technology that can help slow down climate change, lower emissions in many areas, and support the move toward a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. As CCUS technology and its adaptation increases, it is very important to pay attention to the CCUS risks from a supply chain (SC) point of view. The goal of this study was to identify CCUS supply chain risks and develop a conceptual framework (CF) that provides a structured approach to ensure safe and reliable CCUS supply chain operations.

Blockchain Implementation Challenges for Sustainable Supply Chains
Blockchain technology (BT) has attracted a lot of interest and buzz as a revolutionary innovation. Organizations are now thinking about implementing this technology because of its upsides. Cost reductions, improved accountability and traceability, and increased sustainability are some possible advantages that have been highlighted. Even though most fortune businesses have considered blockchain, the investment has significantly decreased. While blockchain technology has generated considerable interest and promise, the significant drop in investment among large firms can be attributed to several factors, including the technology’s complexity and uncertainty, evolving regulatory challenges, the need for a clear return on investment, and competing priorities within organizations. As technology matures and demonstrates its usefulness in specific use cases, we may see an expansion of giant corporations’ investment in blockchain, yet more measured and strategic.

Mobile Robotics Enhancing Critical Thinking and Interdisciplinary Skills
The integration of mobile robotics kits into a dynamic STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)-focused curriculum offers students an immersive and hands-on learning experience, fostering programming skills, advanced problem-solving, critical thinking, and spatial awareness. The motivation behind this research lies in improving the effectiveness of robotics education by addressing existing gaps in current strategies.

Eye-Tracking Analysis of Proposed Signage Design
The road transport system is expanding considerably in developing countries. Villages are connecting to major cities for business, education, health, and many other reasons because of road development and smooth transportation. There has been a rise in the number of road accidents observed, caused by abruptly appearing dividers on roads and a lack of required signage systems.
