In-hand manipulation using gravity and controlled slip [PDF]

open access: yes2015 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2015
In this work we propose a sliding mode controller for in-hand manipulation that repositions a tool in the robot's hand by using gravity and controlling the slippage of the tool. In our approach, the robot holds the tool with a pinch grasp and we model the system as a link attached to the gripper via a passive revolute joint with friction, i.e., the ...

Control Strategies of Gecko’s Toe in Response to Reduced Gravity

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Shear-induced adhesion is one of the key properties for the gecko moving safely and quickly in a three-dimensional environment. The control strategies of such locomotion strongly relying on adhesion are still not well understood.

Postural adaptation to microgravity underlies fine motor impairment in astronauts’ speech

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Understanding the role of anti-gravity behaviour in fine motor control is crucial to achieving a unified theory of motor control. We compare speech from astronauts before and immediately after microgravity exposure to evaluate the role of anti-gravity ...

Is Gravity an Entropic Force? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The remarkable connections between gravity and thermodynamics seem to imply that gravity is not fundamental but emergent, and in particular, as Verlinde suggested, gravity is probably an entropic force.

Human manual control performance in hyper-gravity [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Brain Research, 2015
Hyper-gravity provides a unique environment to study how misperceptions impact control of orientation relative to gravity. Previous studies have found that static and dynamic roll tilts are perceptually overestimated in hyper-gravity. The current investigation quantifies how this influences control of orientation.

Multi-mode Control Method of Gravity Energy Storage DC Link Battery

open access: yesZhongguo dianli
Gravity energy storage is one of the important energy storage modes. However, due to its unique transient dynamic characteristics, it is necessary to construct a reasonable system topology and control method.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

International trade without CES : estimating translog gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper derives a micro-founded gravity equation based on a translog demand system that allows for flexible substitution patterns across goods. In contrast to the standard CES-based gravity equation, translog gravity generates an endogenous trade cost
