Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

A 3.9 km baseline intensity interferometry photon counting experiment

open access: yes, 2018
In the last years we have operated two very similar ultrafast photon counting photometers (Iqueye and Aqueye+) on different telescopes. The absolute time accuracy in time tagging the detected photon with these instruments is of the order of 500 ps for ...

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Myoelectric Origami‐Based Soft Robotic Knee Exoskeleton to Enhance Sit‐to‐Stand Assistance in Elderly Populations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight Miura‐origami soft knee exoskeleton powered by vacuum actuation and integrated with a multimodal physiological intent‐recognition system, providing real‐time assistance during sit‐to‐stand movement to reduce muscle effort and improve user comfort.

The quest for the ideal photodetector for the next generation deep-underwater neutrino telescopes

open access: yes, 2008
We review photodetectors used in present running neutrino telescopes. After a brief historical discourse, the photodetector requirements for the next generation deep underwater neutrino telescopes are discussed.

Programmable‐Stiffness Tensegrity Continuum Robot for Adaptive Multicurvature On‐Orbit Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A bioinspired tensegrity‐based continuum robot (BTCR) with programmable stiffness enables adaptive multicurvature morphing via coordinated intra‐ and intermodule regulation. A unified energy‐based framework predicts self‐equilibrium and deformation for serial modules. Experiments and Simulations demonstrate reconfiguration into hexagonal, circular, and

Multi-use lunar telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes
The objective of multi-use telescopes is to reduce the initial and operational costs of space telescopes to the point where a fair number of telescopes, a dozen or so, would be affordable.

Black Holes at Neutrino Telescopes

open access: yes, 2002
In scenarios with extra dimensions and TeV-scale quantum gravity, black holes are expected to be produced in the collision of light particles at center-of-mass energies above the fundamental Planck scale with small impact parameters.

Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...
