Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Discrete duality finite volume schemes for doubly nonlinear degenerate hyperbolic-parabolic equations

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceWe consider a class of doubly nonlinear degenerate hyperbolic-parabolic equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, for which we first establish the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Analytical Calculation of Cylindrical Shells in the Form of Second-Order Algebraic Surfaces

open access: yesStructural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings
When choosing the shape of a shell, one should strive for the boundary conditions to ensure momentless behavior of the shell. Second-order algebraic surfaces include three degenerate surfaces: parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic cylindrical surfaces, and

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Stability of Riemann solutions to pressureless Euler equations with Coulomb-type friction by flux approximation

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2019
We study the stability of Riemann solutions to pressureless Euler equations with Coulomb-type friction under the nonlinear approximation of flux functions with one parameter. The approximated system can be seen as the generalized Chaplygin pressure Aw-
