Spectrally Tunable 2D Material‐Based Infrared Photodetectors for Intelligent Optoelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent optoelectronics through spectral engineering of 2D material‐based infrared photodetectors. Abstract The evolution of intelligent optoelectronic systems is driven by artificial intelligence (AI). However, their practical realization hinges on the ability to dynamically capture and process optical signals across a broad infrared (IR) spectrum.

Position Estimation of Robotic Mobile Nodes in Wireless Testbed using GENI

open access: yes, 2016
We present a low complexity experimental RF-based indoor localization system based on the collection and processing of WiFi RSSI signals and processing using a RSS-based multi-lateration algorithm to determine a robotic mobile node's location.

Electro‐Active Polymer Actuated Microfiltration Membranes: Design, Performance, and Particle Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The concept of foulant particle manipulation and detachment from active microfiltration membranes via voltage‐driven vibrations is introduced. Actuator components are initially integrated onto the filtration membranes using an airbrush spray printing technique.

System Level Modeling and Control Design of hTetrakis–A Polyiamond Inspired Self-Reconfigurable Floor Tiling Robot

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Fixed morphology cleaning robots mostly face significant challenges in cleaning the narrow spaces in the environment. To overcome this, a new class of self-reconfigurable floor cleaning robot, hTetrakis, made of four triangular blocks, is built.

Floor Bot-Floor Vacuum Cleaning Robot

open access: yesInternational Journal of Soft Computing and Engineering
Floor sweeping is a task we need to do every day, sometimes more than twice. It’s an important part of maintaining a healthy and clean lifestyle. However, it can be a difficult task for many; it can take hours to clean properly, especially when there is a lot of dust that doesn’t just go away with sweeping.

A complementing approach for identifying ethical issues in care robotics – grounding ethics in practical use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We use a long-term study of a robotic eating-aid for disabled users to illustrate how empirical use give rise to a set of ethical issues that might be overlooked in ethic discussions based on theoretical extrapolation of the current state-of-the-art in ...

From In‐Silico Optimized Microfabrication to Experimental Validation: Engineering a Tridimensional Epi‐Intraneural Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An epi‐intraneural interface is developed through in silico optimization and a novel tridimensional microfabrication pipeline. The device integrates penetrating and epineural contacts on a flexible substrate. Mechanical, electrochemical, and in vivo testing in rat and pig reveal robust implantation, low‐threshold activation, and site‐dependent ...
