Resource allocation and growth strategies in a multi‐plant firm: Kanegafuchi Spinners in the early 20th century

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Research Summary Using detailed plant‐ and individual‐level data from a major Japanese cotton spinning company in the early 20th century, we examine the within‐firm allocation of skilled human capital in conjunction with investment in physical capital, accompanying the firm's evolving strategic priorities.

A Multimode Soft Robot Based on a Single Braided Tube

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel soft multimode robot based on a single braided tube directly formed and actuated by SMA wires with distinct initial configurations. By combining contraction, elongation, and bending deformations, the robot achieves straight crawling, turning, inchworm crawling, and rolling without additional actuators.

REWW‐ARM—Remote Wire‐Driven Mobile Robot: Design, Control, and Experimental Validation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Remote Wire‐Driven robot “REWW‐ARM” demonstrates a new concept of remote actuation that separates electronics from harsh environments while retaining closed‐loop control. Combining tendon‐sheath mechanisms with decoupled joints, it achieves efficient power transmission and autonomous locomotion, manipulation, and underwater operation, suggesting ...
