Colliding wall-jets on a cylindrical surface

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Paper discusses aerodynamics and potential engineering applications of an unusual and in literature practically unknown fluid flow configuration, with two wall-jets attached to a cylindrical surface so that they collide head-on and by mutual conjunction ...

Reasoning about representations in autonomous systems: what Pólya and Lakatos have to say

open access: yes, 2012
Autonomous reasoning systems combine an often logic-based representation of some aspect of the world with rules for manipulating that representation. These representations are usually inherited from the literature or are built manually for a particular ...

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Oscillating phenomenon in fluid logic devices.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 1986
The author found that an internal flow did not necessarily show the bi-stability which is indispensable in fluid logic devices. The existence of bi-stability depended on the splitter arrangement, which, at times, produced an almost periodic oscillation. The author investigated the splitter arrangement systematically and found the oscillating condition.

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

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.
