The perspective presents an integrated view of neuromorphic technologies, from device physics to real‐time applicability, while highlighting the necessity of full‐stack co‐optimization. By outlining practical hardware‐level strategies to exploit device behavior and mitigate non‐idealities, it shows pathways for building efficient, scalable, and ...

Impact of Frog Height Deviations on Dynamic Response of High-Speed Metro Trains Negotiating Turnouts
Composite frogs inevitably have manufacturing or installation errors, leading to deviations in the height of the frogs, which affects the dynamic performance of trains passing through turnouts.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Carbody sway behaviour of railway vehicles due to track irregularity from rail alternate side wear
Track irregularity from rail alternate side wear is manifested as uneven rail wear waveforms alternating in the left and right rails with equal intervals, which will cause carbody sway behaviour of railway vehicles and greatly influences the passenger ...

Control Strategy of the Brake Dynamics for Railway Vehicles Equipped with Anti-Slip-Device [PDF]
From the point of view of railway vehicle braking processes it is an important requirement to maintain the roll-ing-motion-state of the wheels, i.e. the macro-sliding-free rolling contact between the vehicle wheels and the rail-head, since in the course ...

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Rail Vehicle Localization Exploiting Rail Track Georeferenced Coordinates
A novel dead reckoning algorithm conceived for localization of small inspection rail vehicles in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) denied environments is presented. This work focus on simplifying the rail vehicle localization task, taking into account restrictions on movement imposed by the railroad tracks.
