Arthropod-Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct-Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

The XP customer team: A grounded theory [PDF]
, 2009 The initial definition of XP resulted in many people interpreting the on-site customer to be a single person. We have conducted extensive qualitative research studying XP teams, and one of our research questions was “who is the customer”?

XP customer practices: A grounded theory [PDF]
, 2009 The Customer is a critical role in XP, but almost all XP practices are presented for developers by developers. While XP calls for Real Customer Involvement, it does not explain what XP Customers should do, nor how they should do it. Using Grounded Theory,
