The Optical System for the Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

, 2015
The Large Size Telescope (LST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is designed to achieve a threshold energy of 20 GeV. The LST optics is composed of one parabolic primary mirror 23 m in diameter and 28 m focal length.

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Towards controlled Fizeau observations with the Large Binocular Telescope

, 2018
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) can perform Fizeau interferometry in the focal plane, which accesses spatial information out to the LBT's full 22.7-m edge-to-edge baseline.

Myoelectric Origami‐Based Soft Robotic Knee Exoskeleton to Enhance Sit‐to‐Stand Assistance in Elderly Populations

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight Miura‐origami soft knee exoskeleton powered by vacuum actuation and integrated with a multimodal physiological intent‐recognition system, providing real‐time assistance during sit‐to‐stand movement to reduce muscle effort and improve user comfort.

Programmable‐Stiffness Tensegrity Continuum Robot for Adaptive Multicurvature On‐Orbit Assembly

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A bioinspired tensegrity‐based continuum robot (BTCR) with programmable stiffness enables adaptive multicurvature morphing via coordinated intra‐ and intermodule regulation. A unified energy‐based framework predicts self‐equilibrium and deformation for serial modules. Experiments and Simulations demonstrate reconfiguration into hexagonal, circular, and

Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...

LITE: The Large Imaging Telescope [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994
It was realised very early in the development of the ESO 16 metre equivalent Very Large Telescope (VLT) that wide-field imaging is too complicated and costly to implement on the VLT itself and should be done with a smaller telescope.
