Electrically Adaptive and Shape-Changeable Invertible Microlens
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2021 Existing soft actuators for adaptive microlenses suffer from high required input voltage, optical loss, liquid loss, and the need for assistant systems. In this study, we fabricate a polyvinyl chloride-based gel using a new synergistic plasticization method to achieve simultaneously a high optical transparency and an ultrasoft rubber-like elastic ...

Design of a Novel Wheel-Legged Robot with Rim Shape Changeable Wheels
Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022 Abstract The wheel-legged hybrid structure has been utilized by ground mobile platforms in recent years to achieve good mobility on both flat surface and rough terrain. However, most of the wheel-legged robots only have one-directional obstacle-crossing ability.

Dynamic reconfiguration manipulability for redundant manipulators
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014 In this research, a new concept named Dynamic Reconfiguration Manipulability (DRM) is proposed, which gauges dynamical shape-changeability by using a redundancy of the robot on the premise that a primary task be given at hand.
