The Force Between Two Sliding Bodies When Observed from a Third Moving Body

open access: yesTribology Online, 2011
This paper pertains to the observations of the sliding friction force from different moving bodies. The paper derives the equations required to predict the forces on the free-body diagrams of two sliding bodies when observed from a third moving body. The

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

The Influence of Material Roughness, Hardness and Lubricant Additives on Micropitting Behaviour in Rolling-Sliding Contacts

open access: yesTribology Online, 2020
Regarding micropitting, which is one of the fatigue damages that occur under conditions where the oil film thickness is smaller than the surface roughness, the effects of hardness and roughness of the test piece and differences in lubricants were ...

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...
