Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

A fixed point theorem for contraction mappings

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1982
Let S be a closed subset of a Banach space E and f:S→E be a strict contraction mapping. Suppose there exists a mapping h:S→(0,1] such that (1−h(x))x+h(x)f(x)∈S for each x∈S. Then for any x0∈S, the sequence {xn} in S defined by xn+1=(1−h(xn))xn+h(xn)f(xn),

Fixed point theorems for set-valued contraction type maps in metric spaces

open access: yes, 2010
We first give some fixed point results for set-valued self-map contractions in complete metric spaces. Then we derive a fixed point theorem for nonself set-valued contractions which are metrically inward. Our results generalize many well-known results in

Introducing PNEUMA: A Hybrid Soft Pneumatic Fabric Bidirectional Actuation Module for Wearable Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft pneumatic fabric bidirectional actuation module (PNEUMA) capable of generating high torque in both bending directions within a single integrated architecture. PNEUMA achieves up to 50 Nm with reduced inflation volume and a lightweight design.

Operator type expansion-compression fixed point theorem

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2011
This article presents an alternative to the compression and expansion fixed point theorems of functional type by using operators and functions to replace the functionals and constants that are used in functional compression and expansion fixed point ...

On the Lefschetz Fixed Point Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The abstract version of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem is proved which states the following: If \(X\) is a metric space and if \(X_0\subset X\) is such that \(X_0\) absorbs compact sets, \(f\:X\to X\) is a continuous map, \(f(X_0) \subset X_0\) and \(f/X_0\) is a Lefschetz map, then \(f\) is also (on \(X\)) a Lefschetz map. Here a continuous map \(f\

Fixed Point Theorems on Partial Randomness [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Pure and Applied Logic, 2008
In our former work [K. Tadaki, Local Proceedings of CiE 2008, pp.425-434, 2008], we developed a statistical mechanical interpretation of algorithmic information theory by introducing the notion of thermodynamic quantities at temperature T, such as free energy F(T), energy E(T), and statistical mechanical entropy S(T), into the theory.

The Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We revisit the investigation of the computational content of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem in [7], and answer the two open questions from that work. First, we show that the computational hardness is independent of the dimension, as long as it is greater than 1 (in [7] this was only established for dimension greater than 2).

On A Fixed Point Theorem For The Product Of Operators

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we study the existence of fixed points for the product of nonlinear operators. This kind of fixed point theorems is necessary in consideration of quadratic differential and integral problems.

Autonomous Navigation of Pollen‐Inspired Magnetic Microrobots for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sunflower pollen‐inspired magnetic microrobot enables controlled rolling navigation in vessel‐like environments. Its open geometry reduces hydrodynamic drag, while vision‐based closed‐loop control, shortest‐path planning, and reinforcement learning support target‐reaching and maze navigation with microrobot‐scale accuracy, highlighting a route toward
