A reconfiguration strategy for Reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots [PDF]
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015 This paper deals with Reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (RCDPRs). A RCDPR is able to change the locations of its cable exit points, the latter being defined as the connection points between the cables and the robot base frame. Given a RCDPR, a set of possible reconfigurations, a desired platform path and a description of the robot environment,

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).
