A Miniature Robot for Autonomous Single Neuron Recordings [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006
This paper describes a novel miniature robot that can autonomously position recording electrodes inside cortical tissue to isolate and maintain optimal extracellular action potential recordings. The system consists of a novel motorized miniature recording microdrive and a control algorithm. The microdrive was designed for semi-chronic operation and can

Directional Confinement Governed Ion Transport for Efficient Actuation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Structural anisotropy provides an effective means to regulate ion transport in polymer electrolytes. Directionally aligned channels formed by freeze‐drying provide continuous pathways for ion migration, enhancing ion mobility and simultaneously improving the strain and blocking force of ionic actuators.

Intelligent Control of a Miniature Climbing Robot

Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, 2004
This paper presents an intelligent control system of a miniature climbing robot to achieve precise motion control, minimize power consumption, and produce versatile behaviors. The gravitational effects degrade the motion control performance and are difficult to compensate exactly, especially in the case of the climbing robot.

Thickness‐Defined Transport Regime Toward Near‐Ideal Area‐Type Switching

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By thinning the oxide layer, memristors pass from diode‐like and battery‐effect‐dominated behavior toward eventual short‐circuit failure. Within the intermediate 5–6 nm window, they reach a near‐ideal analog area‐type switching regime, featuring symmetric hysteresis, area‐dependent conductance, and continuous linear programming of HRS and LRS with ...

Blending With Insulating Polymers Enables Stable Anti‐Ambipolar Characteristics in n‐Type Organic Mixed‐Conductors for Heterogeneous Spiking Neurons

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A polymer blend of n‐type OMIEC P(gNDI‐gT2) with insulating PMMA yields mechanically stabilized, anti‐ambipolar organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with tunable ionic‐electronic transport. This blending allows low‐power, fast‐spiking heterogeneous Hodgkin–Huxley neurons, enabling biomimetic frequency deconvolution and reservoir computing, which

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.
