“…One of the challenges in two-legged robots is the execution of twists and turnaround motions. The new innovative solution of walking mechanism-which is not based on human gait as most solutions of two-legged walking robots-was presented by Mikołajczyk et al [131][132][133][134]. This new walking mechanism uses two parallel legs sliding in corps and is equipped with swivel feet as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…It is a result of the number of DOFs. On the other hand, the developed synthetic walking mechanism for a bipedal walking robot with swivel feet [131][132][133][134] does not require a complicated control system due to the use of a small number of DOFs and its static stabilization method. The 3 DOFsRotoFoot robot requires three drives combined with three potentiometers-based position sensors for closed-loop control ϕ, α R and α L α angles.…”

Currently, there is an intensive development of bipedal walking robots. The most known solutions are based on the use of the principles of human gait created in nature during evolution. Modernbipedal robots are also based on the locomotion manners of birds. This review presents the current state of the art of bipedal walking robots based on natural bipedal movements (human and bird) as well as on innovative synthetic solutions. Firstly, an overview of the scientific analysis of human gait is provided as a basis for the design of bipedal robots. The full human gait cycle that consists of two main phases is analysed and the attention is paid to the problem of balance and stability, especially in the single support phase when the bipedal movement is unstable. The influences of passive or active gait on energy demand are also discussed. Most studies are explored based on the zero moment. Furthermore, a review of the knowledge on the specific locomotor characteristics of birds, whose kinematics are derived from dinosaurs and provide them with both walking and running abilities, is presented. Secondly, many types of bipedal robot solutions are reviewed, which include nature-inspired robots (human-like and birdlike robots) and innovative robots using new heuristic, synthetic ideas for locomotion. Totally 45 robotic solutions are gathered by thebibliographic search method. Atlas was mentioned as one of the most perfect human-like robots, while the birdlike robot cases were Cassie and Digit. Innovative robots are presented, such asslider robot without knees, robots with rotating feet (3 and 4 degrees of freedom), and the hybrid robot Leo, which can walk on surfaces and fly. In particular, the paper describes in detail the robots’ propulsion systems (electric, hydraulic), the structure of the lower limb (serial, parallel, mixed mechanisms), the types and structures of control and sensor systems, and the energy efficiency of the robots. Terrain roughness recognition systems using different sensor systems based on light detection and ranging or multiple cameras are introduced. A comparison of performance, control and sensor systems, drive systems, and achievements of known human-like and birdlike robots is provided. Thirdly, for the first time, the review comments on the future of bipedal robots in relation to the concepts of conventional (natural bipedal) and synthetic unconventional gait. We critically assess and compare prospective directions for further research that involve the development of navigation systems, artificial intelligence, collaboration with humans, areas for the development of bipedal robot applications in everyday life, therapy, and industry.

“…There are many studies available on the market regarding the development and application of additive technologies, which include the annually published Wohlers Report presenting global trends in 3D printing [1], Metal AM Market Opportunities and Trends [2] relating to the additive processing of metal alloys or industry reports associated with the energy industry (Is the Oil & Gas Industry Ready for 3D Printing) [3], and critical infrastructure components (The Market for Additive Manufacturing in the Oil and Gas Sector 2018-2029) [4]. Many studies indicate that the use of additive technologies will have a strong growth rate over the next ten years, both in the development of materials for 3D printing [5][6][7][8][9][10] and in the industrial manufacture of fully functional products [11,12].…”

The present article presents an analysis of the potential application of 3D printing in the critical infrastructure system. An attempt has been made to develop case studies for selected critical infrastructure areas, particularly with reference to the area of energy supply. The need for 3D printing applications is identified based on expert research in the energy industry. It identifies the application schemes determined by the technical and logistical possibilities associated with 3D printing in its broadest sense. A review of additive technologies with a view to their application in selected phases of critical infrastructure operation, including in crisis situations, is also carried out. Furthermore, a methodology for incorporating 3D printing into the existing critical infrastructure system is proposed. As a result, the following research hypothesis is adopted: the use of 3D printing can be an important part of measures to ensure the full functionality and efficiency of critical infrastructures, particularly in crisis situations.

“…3D printing is an innovation that empowers people all over the world to plan custom items. Advertising effectiveness, customizability, and availability to reasonable generation, 3D printing is changing the flow of how we make things [2]. Nowadays, computer aided design (CAD) can design imaginative 3D printed items in a way that designers and engineers could previously only dream of producing [3].…”

In today’s world the design of multiple mailboxes comes to cover the evolution of logistics in delivering mail where the postman is not required to visit every user. In this research the 3D visualization is used for the design of multiple mailboxes for domestic use. It concerns the design of mailboxes in ergonomic building blocks and apartment complexes in 3D design so that they can be easily manufactured. Between the advantages of this design will be rapid production of ready-made products production of prototypes that enables testing at the design stage and reduces the time and the cost of production. The design when done with 3D CAD can be manufactured with modern machine tooling methods. In this paper after an extensive Literature Review the postal multiple mailboxes is used as a case study in the use of 3D CAD for 3D printing. A methodology is proposed that enables the examination of prototypes at the design stage according to specifications and allows the manufacturing department of a company to prepare the right tools and begin installing production lines. Conclusively this method gives the advantage of designing the product and supporting the production of scaffolds that can be functionally and ergonomically tested before finalizing the production.
