Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.

Is There Rent Sharing in Italy? Evidence from Employer-Employee Data [PDF]
Using a unique employer-employee panel database, we investigate the extent of rent sharing in Italy from 1996 to 2003. We derive the following findings. First, after controlling for the national bargaining level, there is robust evidence of rent sharing ...

Dual‐Mode Gripper With Suction and Shape‐Adaptive Freezing Grasps
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study presents a dual‐mode robotic gripper that combines vacuum suction with a shape‐adaptive freezing grasp. The freezing mode uses a compliant rubber membrane, a sprayed water layer, and dry‐ice powder to generate ice‐mediated adhesion while conforming to complex geometries.

The Impact of Rent Controls in Non-Walrasian Markets: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach [PDF]
We use agent-based models to consider rent ceilings in non-Walrasian housing markets, where bargaining between landlord and tenant leads to exchange at a range of prices.

Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.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

Rent Seeking and Democracy in Latin America: What Drives What? [PDF]
Drawing on previously unused objective institutional data, we provide evidence for the causal link between rent-seeking behavior and democracy in Uruguay, a country where both rent-seeking behavior and political shifts have varied widely in the last 80 ...
