Single-Class Discrimination for Robot Anomaly Detection

open access: yes, 2012
Early system error detection is essential for safe human-robot interaction. Detecting errors in the large amount of sensory and status data is, however, difficult, especially since the amount of fault data is very small if at all available; a problem for

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere

open access: yes, 2012
The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere is investigated, with particular emphasis placed on waves with periodicities of five minutes. The basic model of a uniform temperature loop is extended by the addition of

Heterogeneity in tribologically transformed structure (TTS) of Ti–6Al–4V under fretting

open access: yes, 2023
International audienceFretting wear is a surface degradation process caused by oscillatory motion and contact slipping. During gross slip, high local stresses and plastic deformation in the surface and subsurface can lead to the creation of a nanosized ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

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,

Trajectory recognition as the basis for object individuation: A functional model of object file instantiation and object token encoding

open access: yes, 2010
The perception of persisting visual objects is mediated by transient intermediate representations, object files, that are instantiated in response to some, but not all, visual trajectories.
