Highly mobile droplets on slippery surfaces [PDF]

Droplets on slippery surfaces such as Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces or Liquid - Impregnated Surfaces (SLIPS/LIS) are inherently highly mobile and therefore can be difficult to control in terms of position and motion. This thesis has explored how to return droplet control back to very slippery surfaces via four interconnected studies.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.
