Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017
