Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Matching and stabilization by the method of controlled Lagrangians [PDF]
, 1998 We describe a class of mechanical systems for which the “method of controlled Lagrangians” provides a family of control laws that stabilize an unstable (relative) equilibrium.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.The use of polychloroprene is common in elastomeric adhesives. This study highlights the possible substitution of zinc oxide curing systems to a less hazardous metal complex, also evaluating the changes that higher surface area fillers can bring to the adhesive.

Journal of the Global Power and Propulsion Society, 2018 Diffusers convert kinetic flow energy into a rise in static pressure. This pressure recovery is the primary aerodynamic design objective for exhaust gas diffusers in power-generating steam and gas turbines. The total pressure loss is an equally important

The effects of gear reduction on robot dynamics [PDF]
The effect of the joint drive system with gear reduction for a generic two-link system is studied. It is done by comparing the kinetic energy of such a system with that of a direct drive two-link system.

Advances in Triboelectric Nanogenerators With Rotating Structure
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.The rotating TENG has been widely studied for its superiorities of simple structure, high efficiency, and stable output. This review introduced the four different principles of rotating TENG and offered a thorough summary for performance and application research through three‐level classification. Importantly, the current existing problems, challenges,

Hydrogen-atom Attack on Phenol and Toluene is \u3cem\u3eortho\u3c/em\u3e-directed [PDF]
, 2016 The reaction of H + phenol and H/D + toluene has been studied in a supersonic expansion after electric discharge. The (1 + 1′) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of the reaction products, at m/z = parent + 1, or parent + 2 amu ...
