Toward Sustainable Mechanized Production of Processing Tomatoes: Crop–Machine Interactions, Operational Trade-Offs, and Pathways for Intelligent Control

Mechanized production of processing tomatoes depends on coordinated operations, but crop variability and successive material transfers make performance strongly condition-dependent. This narrative review used structured, non-systematic literature identification across multidisciplinary databases and publisher platforms...

Multisensor Localization and Risk-Aware Navigation for Underwater Robots in Turbid and Confined Inland Waters: A Review

Inland waters such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, fish ponds, and confined hydraulic structures impose turbidity, shallow-water acoustic multipath, dense boundaries, dynamic biological interference, and limited communication on underwater robots. These coupled constraints can simultaneously degrade sensing, localization...
