Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

VXIbus beam position monitor module [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1992
This is a description of a VXIbus Register Based Beam Position Monitor module. This module consists of a sealed analog module that outputs the sum and difference of the log signals for both the X and Y axis of the Beam Position Monitor (BPM). These signals are then digitized by 12‐bit analog‐to‐digital converters. These digitized values are then stored

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

The identification of the optical companion to the binary millisecond pulsar J0610-2100 in the Galactic field

, 2012
We have used deep V and R images acquired at the ESO Very Large Telescope to identify the optical companion to the binary pulsar PSR J0610-2100, one of the black-widow millisecond pulsars recently detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope in the Galactic

Acquisition of non-olfactory encoding improves odour discrimination in olfactory cortex

Nature Communications
Olfaction is influenced by contextual factors, past experiences, and the animal’s internal state. Whether this information is integrated at the initial stages of cortical odour processing is not known, nor how these signals may influence odour encoding ...

CA1-projecting subiculum neurons facilitate object-place learning. [PDF]

, 2019
Recent anatomical evidence suggests a functionally significant back-projection pathway from the subiculum to the CA1. Here we show that the afferent circuitry of CA1-projecting subicular neurons is biased by inputs from CA1 inhibitory neurons and the ...
