A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Analyzing structural characteristics of object category representations from their semantic-part distributions

open access: yes, 2015
Studies from neuroscience show that part-mapping computations are employed by human visual system in the process of object recognition. In this work, we present an approach for analyzing semantic-part characteristics of object category representations ...

Multiphoton‐Printed Microrobotic Arrays Powered by Discrete, Monolithically Integrated Hydrogel Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Functional surfaces are investigated as a foundation for reconfigurable microscale systems with sensing and actuation capabilities. Advances in additive manufacturing enable our development of planar arrays of hybrid‐material, compliant microdevices that convert environmental stimuli into programmed motion and visual responses.

Characteristics of a multi-stroke “bolt from the blue” lightning-type that caused a fatal disaster

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
Observational data from the low-frequency electric-field detection array (LFEDA) and radar were used to study the precise location of a fatal accident caused by a lightning in Conghua, Guangzhou, China, 2017.

Income and education as predictors of return to working life among younger stroke patients

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2011
Background Socioeconomic conditions are not only related to poor health outcomes, they also contribute to the chances of recovery from stroke. This study examines whether income and education were predictors of return to work after a first stroke among ...

Lightning Observations above and below clouds [PDF]

open access: yes
The quantitative optical characteristics of cloud to ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning above clouds were studied. A data base of a number of pulse paramaters such as energy, rise times, pulse widths and pulse intervals was complied and ...

Lightning Return-Stroke Current Waveforms Aloft, from Measured Field Change, Current, and Channel Geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Three-dimensional reconstructions of six rocket-triggered lightning channels are derived from stereo photographs. These reconstructed channels are used to infer the behavior of the current in return strokes above the ground from current waveforms ...

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
