Highly Stable PEDOT:PSS Coating on Gold Microelectrodes with Improved Charge Injection Capacity for Chronic Neural Stimulation

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
This study introduces two new processes that highly enable PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)) as stable coating material for chronic neural stimulation.

Feasibility of a Dielectric Elastomer Augmented Aorta

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Although heart transplantation is a gold standard for severe heart failure, there is a need for alternative effective therapies. A dielectric‐elastomer aorta is used to augment the physiological role of the aorta in the human circulatory system.

Flow-Ratio Monitoring in a Microchannel by Liquid-Liquid Interface Interferometry

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
A new method to monitor the relative flow rates of two different liquids in a microchannel is presented. By using a simple out-of-plane interferometer setup, shifts in the position of the interface between the two liquids can be determined.

Review of Electrohydraulic Actuators inspired by the HASEL Actuator

open access: yesBiomimetics
The muscle-like movement and speed of the electrohydraulic actuator have granted it much at-tention in soft robotics. Our aim is to review the advancements in electrohydraulic actuators in-spired by the Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic (HASEL) actuator.

An extended actuator cylinder model: Actuator‐in‐actuator cylinder (AC‐squared) model [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy, 2019
AbstractIn this paper, the actuator‐in‐actuator cylinder (AC‐squared) model is presented. This model is an extension of the original actuator cylinder model of Madsen and is capable of modelling the effect of a two concentric actuation surfaces in 2D. The induced velocity at every point in the 2D field is affected by the force field acting on the two ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.
