Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Robotic observation pipeline for small bodies in the solar system based on open-source software and commercially available telescope hardware

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The observation of small bodies in the Space Environment is an ongoing important task in astronomy. While nowadays new objects are mostly detected in larger sky surveys, several follow-up observations are usually needed for each object to improve the ...

A purely reflective large wide-field telescope [PDF]

Bulletin of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, 2008
Two versions of a fast, purely reflective Paul-Baker type telescope are discussed, each with an 8.4-m aperture, 3 deg diameter flat field and f/1.25 focal ratio. The first version is based on a common, even asphere type of surface with zero conic constant.

Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum for Image Analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum (SHWB), a rotation‐ and translation‐invariant descriptor that captures higher‐order (phase) correlations in signals, is introduced. Combining wavelet scattering, bispectral analysis, and group theory, SHWB achieves interpretable, data‐efficient representations and demonstrates competitive performance across texture,

Bright X-ray bursts from 1E 1724-3045 in Terzan 2 [PDF]

, 2000
During about 3 years wide field monitoring of the Galactic Center region by the WFC telescopes on board the BeppoSAX satellite, a total of 14 type-I X-ray bursts were detected from the burster 1E 1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2.

Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: The gr-band Period–Luminosity Relations for Mira Variables at Maximum Light and their Applications to Local Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Based on 14 Miras located in seven globular clusters, we derived the first gr -band period–luminosity (PL) at maximum light for the large-amplitude Mira variables using the multiyear light-curve data collected from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF ...

Seeking particle dark matter in the TeV sky

, 2011
Under the assumption that dark matter is made of new particles, annihilations of those are required to reproduce the correct dark matter abundance in the Universe.

Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST): optical telescope assembly (OTA) status [PDF]

Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter Wave, 2018
The WFIRST Mission is the next large astrophysical observatory for NASA after the James Webb Space Telescope and is the top priority mission from the 2010 National Academy of Sciences' decadal survey. The WFIRST OTA includes the inherited primary and secondary mirrors with precision metering structures that are to be integrated to new mirror assemblies
