Flexible Sensors for Robotics Tactile Perception: A Review
Flexible tactile sensing for robotics is reviewed through four interconnected dimensions. Physical mechanisms include piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, iontronic, and optical sensing. Structural design includes bioinspired, defect‐based, and MEMS‐based tactile systems.

WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

We report on the discovery of a very prominent mid-infrared (18–25 μ m) excess associated with the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet (136472) Makemake. The excess, detected by the Mid-Infrared Instrument of the James Webb Space Telescope, along with previous ...

DSMC Simulation of the Vertical Structure of Planetary Rings
A statistical Monte Carlo method (DSMC) is developed to simulate granular flows occurring in dense planetary rings. The accuracy of the method is assessed through a comparison with existing molecular dynamics simulations of the vertical structure of ...

Toward Mechanical Intelligence in Robotics
Robots can use their physical bodies to perform functions usually assigned to electronic sensors and controllers. This perspective defines mechanical intelligence through three core operations: filtering inputs, routing mechanical signals, and switching between states.

Pitting damage levels estimation for planetary gear sets based on model simulation and grey relational analysis [PDF]
The planetary gearbox is a critical mechanism in helicopter transmission systems. Tooth failures in planetary gear sets will cause great risk to helicopter operations.

Assessing the Role of Large Fullerenes as Potential Carriers of Infrared Emission Plateaus
We investigate large fullerenes containing between 90 and 1750 carbon atoms and with radii ranging from 4.4 to 12.9 Å, and compare their computed emission spectra to Spitzer data for the fullerene-rich planetary nebulae SMP SMC 24 and SMP LMC 48 to ...

Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and

Ejected Surface Regolith as a Potential Source Material for Centaur Rings
Ring systems have been observed around Centaur Chariklo (10199) and other small bodies but their origin and dynamical histories are still debated. These small body ring systems challenge conventional models for the origin of planetary rings, especially ...
