New tactics

Index on Censorship, 2012
Although the privacy threat posed by IMSI catchers is not widely known to the general public, it is real. Furthermore, as these devices have been purchased by intelligence agencies, they are likely used to spy on the traditional targets of foreign espionage: politicians, military leaders and business executives.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Tactical constructions

Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1975
This paper treats the construction of a class of combinatorial designs known as tactical configurations of rank 2 and girth 6. Although many constructions are known for such configurations with 0 deficiency (that is, when the smaller vertex set is a subset of the skeleton of the configuration), very few constructions exist for configurations of ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.
