A distributed and morphology-independent strategy for adaptive locomotion in self-reconfigurable modular robots [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we present a distributed reinforcement learning strategy for morphology-independent life-long gait learning for modular robots. All modules run identical controllers that locally and independently optimize their action selection based on ...

A stochastic framework for secure reconfiguration of active distribution networks
IET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2022 Automatic reconfiguration is one of the key actions in self‐healing distribution networks. In these networks, after detecting and isolating the faulted portion, an automatic reconfiguration procedure is performed to restore the maximum possible affected ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A sequence‐encoded supramolecular construct containing two accessible toeholds is developed herein for enabling multiple editing operations. By introducing specific input strands, it is possible to selectively erase or rewrite digital content through parallel or series toehold‐mediated strand displacement (PTMSD or STMSD).

Upgrading a Shrouded Wind Turbine with a Self-Adaptive Flanged Diffuser
Energies, 2015 In this paper, a self-adaptive flange is proposed for the wind turbine shrouded by a flanged diffuser to reduce the wind loads acting on the flanged diffuser at high wind velocities.

Self-reconfigurable multicell batteries
2011 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition, 2011 The traditional multicell battery design usually employs a fixed configuration to connect multiple cells in series and parallel during operation in order to achieve the required voltage and current. However, this fixed configuration results in low reliability, low fault tolerance, and nonoptimal energy conversion efficiency. This paper proposes a novel

Electrochemically Driven Dissipative Growth of Affinity Hydrogels for Bioresponsive Interfaces
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Voltage pulses drive the growth and reinforcement of hydrogel films under dissipative conditions. This biocompatible strategy enables efficient integration of affinity ligands into the hydrogel matrix, enhancing the selective capture of growth factors and allowing precise temporal control over their release, making them well‐suited as adaptive ...
