Superparamagnetic colloids in viscous fluids
Scientific Reports, 2017 The influence of a magnetic field on the aggregation process of superparamagnetic colloids has been well known on short time for a few decades. However, the influence of important parameters, such as viscosity of the liquid, has received only little ...

A Biologically Inspired Dexterous Robot Hand with High Grip Force [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2019 This paper presents a robot hand inspired from grasp and grip mechanism of human hand. In human hand, grasp and grip are different terms: Human hand can grasp an object adaptively by individual pulling of each finger’s tendon.

Transferring functional grasps through contact warping and local replanning [PDF]
, 2012 We present a method for transferring grasps between objects of the same functional category. This transfer is intended to preserve the functionality of a grasp constructed for one of the objects, thus enabling the analogous action to be performed on a ...

Customizing mesoscale self-assembly with three-dimensional printing
New Journal of Physics, 2014 Self-assembly due to capillary forces is a common method for generating two-dimensional mesoscale structures from identical floating particles at the liquid–air interface. Designing building blocks to obtain a desired mesoscopic structure is a scientific

Generalization of human grasping for multi-fingered robot hands [PDF]
, 2012 Multi-fingered robot grasping is a challenging problem that is difficult to tackle using hand-coded programs. In this paper we present an imitation learning approach for learning and generalizing grasping skills based on human demonstrations. To this end,

Active Sound Localization in a Symmetric Environment
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013 Localization for humanoid robots becomes difficult when events that disrupt robot positioning information occur. This holds especially true in symmetric environments because landmark data may not be sufficient to determine orientation.

Forced segregation in binary granular mixtures [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Mixing granular particles of di erent sizes is a common way of increasing the packing fraction. Recently, a model predicting the packing fraction, taking into account the inhomogeneity of the mixed small and large particles, has been proposed by S ...
