Simulation of Improved Electro-Optical Properties of Film-Type Low-Twist-Angle Nematic Liquid Crystal Displays

open access: yes, 2001
This paper describes the optimum design for film-type low-twist-angle nematic liquid crystal displays (FLTN-LCDs) using a computer simulation of the dynamic behavior of the liquid crystal molecules.

FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Twist-Angle Tuning of Electronic Structure in Two-Dimensional Dirac Nodal Line Semimetal Au2Ge on Au(111)

open access: yes
Topological semimetals have emerged as quantum materials including Dirac, Weyl, and nodal line semimetals, and so on. Dirac nodal line (DNL) semimetals possess topologically nontrivial bands crossing along a line or a loop and are considered precursor ...

Twisted right-angled Artin groups

open access: yes
We present a complete rewriting system for twisted right-angled Artin groups. Utilizing the normal form coming from the rewriting system, we provide applications that illustrate differences and similarities with right-angled Artin groups, both at the geometric and algebraic levels.

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.

WorMa: An Undulatory Robot With Center of Mass Regulation via Internal Fluid Redistribution for Amphibious Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.
