Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping
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 ...

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Wake and Potential Interference of Contra-Rotating Small-Sized Axial Fan at Design Flow Rate
Small-sized axial fans are used as air coolers for electric equipment. There is a strong demand for high pressure and large flow rate of fans according to the increase of quantity of heat from electric devices. Therefore, high rotational speed design is conducted, although, it causes the deterioration of the efficiency and increase of noise.
