Repeated Impact-Based Capture of a Spinning Object by a Dual-Arm Space Robot

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018
This paper presents detumbling and capture of space debris by a dual-arm space robot for active space debris removal missions. Space debris, such as a malfunctioning satellite or a rocket upper stage, often has uncontrolled tumbling motion.

Capturing the Unseen: Vision-Free Facial Motion Capture Using Inertial Measurement Units

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
We present Capturing the Unseen (CAPUS), a novel facial motion capture (MoCap) technique that operates without visual signals. CAPUS leverages miniaturized Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) as a new sensing modality for facial motion capture. While IMUs have become essential in full-body MoCap for their portability and independence from environmental ...

Through Diamond Robust Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thin film diamond growth offers a unique opportunity for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS); the encapsulation of plasmonic nanostructures within a transparent, chemically stable, and physically robust coating. The diamond acts as both a window and protective layer, enabling illumination of the plasmonic nanostructures through the diamond ...

Resonant capture of multiple planet systems under dissipation and stable orbital configurations

, 2016
Migration of planetary systems caused by the action of dissipative forces may lead the planets to be trapped in a resonance. In this work we study the conditions and the dynamics of such resonant trapping.

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Predicting kinetics using musculoskeletal modeling and inertial motion capture

, 2018
Inverse dynamic analysis using musculoskeletal modeling is a powerful tool, which is utilized in a range of applications to estimate forces in ligaments, muscles, and joints, non-invasively. To date, the conventional input used in this analysis is derived from optical motion capture (OMC) and force plate (FP) systems, which restrict the application of ...
