Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...

A note on Ramsey Numbers for Books [PDF]
, 2004 A book of size N is the union of N triangles sharing a common edge. We show that the Ramsey number of a book of size N vs. a book of size M equals 2N+3 for all N>(10^6)M.

A Canine Musculoskeletal Robot for Investigating Biomechanical Functions During Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this study, a dog limb musculoskeletal robot was developed using thin McKibben artificial muscles to investigate the effects of the dog's musculoskeletal structure on walking. Walking experiments were conducted in both indoor and outdoor environments, suggesting that the flexible structure of the dog's shoulders contributes to an increase in stroke ...

Analyzing the citation characteristics of books: edited books, book series and publisher types in the book citation index [PDF]
Scientometrics, 2013 This paper presents a first approach to analyzing the factors that determine the citation characteristics of books. For this we use the Thomson Reuters' book citation index, a novel multidisciplinary database launched in 2011 which offers bibliometric data on books. We analyze three possible factors which are considered to affect the citation impact of

The influence of early questions on learning from text [PDF]
, 2014 In this research we explored the use of short-answer questions to improve learning from chapter-like texts (3395 words). Experiment 1 investigated the influence of pre-questions on recall from a text passage when tested a week later; two question sets ...

A Perspective on Interactive Theorem Provers in Physics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Into an interactive theorem provers (ITPs), one can write mathematical definitions, theorems and proofs, and the correctness of those results is automatically checked. This perspective goes over the best usage of ITPs within physics and motivates the open‐source community run project PhysLean, the aim of which is to be a library for digitalized physics
