From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

On one functional-differential quasilinear hyperbolic equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
© 2017, Allerton Press, Inc. For functional-differential quasilinear hyperbolic equation not investigated earlier, we consider problems with conditions on characteristics and obtain conditions of ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Inverse problems for hyperbolic equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We give a survey of author's results on the inverse hyperbolic problems with time-dependent and time-independent coefficients. We consider the case of hyperbolic equations with Yang-Mills potentials and the case of domains with obstacles. In particular, we gave a stability estimate for the broken X-ray transform in the case of one convex obstacle in ...

Edible Pouch Motors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Higher-order finite-difference methods for partial differential equations

open access: yes, 1997
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This thesis develops two families of numerical methods, based upon rational approximations having distinct real poles, for solving first- and second-order ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

ADAPTIVE GRID BASED FINITE DIFFERENCE METHODS FOR SOLUTION OF HYPERBOLIC PDES: APPLICATION TO COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS AND UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Novel finite-difference based numerical methods for solution of linear and nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) using adaptive grids are proposed in this dissertation. The overall goal of this research is to improve the accuracy and/

The fundamental solution of the hyperbolic Dirac-equation

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper the hyperbolic unit ball is identified with the manifold of rays within the future null cone. By means of the induced Clifford algebra structure there, a definition of Dirac operators on sections of homogeneous line bundles is obtained.

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
