Locomotion versatility through self-reconfiguration

open access: yesRobotics and Autonomous Systems, 1999
We discuss a robotic module called a Molecule. Molecules can be the basis for building self-reconfiguring robots. They support multiple modalities of locomotion and manipulation. We describe the design, functionality, and control of the Molecule. We show how a set of Molecules can aggregate as active three-dimensional structures that can move and ...

A framework for proving the self-organization of dynamic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper aims at providing a rigorous definition of self- organization, one of the most desired properties for dynamic systems (e.g., peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks, cooperative robotics, or ad-hoc networks). We characterize different classes of

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Multiplexed Luminal Tissue Constructs with Reconfigurable Barriers for Dynamic Modeling of Multi‐Tissue Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study describes the fabrication of arrays of luminal tissue constructs for 3D luminal tissue modeling. An oil or media‐filled reservoir between constructs serves as a liquid barrier or bridge to regulate communication between lumens within the array for modeling multi‐tissue interactions in vitro. Abstract Cell‐lined luminal structures are crucial

Reconfiguration of 3D Crystalline Robots Using O(log n) Parallel Moves

open access: yes, 2009
We consider the theoretical model of Crystalline robots, which have been introduced and prototyped by the robotics community. These robots consist of independently manipulable unit-square atoms that can extend/contract arms on each side and attach/detach

Embedded Linux as a Platform for Dynamically Self-Reconfiguring Systems-On-Chip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We have previously argued the benefits of embedded Linux as an operating system platform for reconfigurable system-on-chip design. In this paper we describe our approach to building tools for the implementation of dynamically and self-reconfigurable ...

Direct Ink Writing 3D Printing of Recyclable and Thermally Stable Vitrimers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Vitrimers hold great promise in additive manufacturing as defect‐insensitive, repairable, and recyclable feedstocks. A thin‐film additively manufactured process is developed for a high‐performance vitrimer that is difficult to process traditionally.
