Online walking motion and foothold optimization for quadruped locomotion

Jonas Buchli, Farbod Farshidian, Alexander Winkler

Abstract: We present an algorithm that generates walking motions for quadruped robots without the use of an explicit footstep planner by simultaneously optimizing over both the Center of Mass (CoM) trajectory and the footholds. Feasibility is achieved by i ...

Rotational stiffness of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck system with trapezoidal cell cross-sectional geometry was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types, in two bending m ...

Reading and writing single-atom magnets

Donat Fabian Natterer

The single-atom bit represents the ultimate limit of the classical approach to high-density magnetic storage media. So far, the smallest individually addressable bistable magnetic bits have consisted of 3-12 atoms(1-3). Long magnetic relaxation times have ...

A new method to break the mass-sheet degeneracy using aperture moments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth

Mass determinations from gravitational lensing shear and the higher order estimator flexion are both subject to the mass-sheet degeneracy. Mass sheet degeneracy refers to a transformation that leaves the reduced shear and flexion invariant. In general, thi ...

Seismic behaviour of slab-column connections without transverse reinforcement

Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...

Characterization of rotational behavior of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP bridge decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded GFRP bridge deck system was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types was characterized. An experimental procedure based on three-point bending and cantilever experime ...

A Drift-Kinetic Model for Tokamak SOL Plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A fluid drift-reduced description, which accurately describes phenomena occurring on time scales slower than the characteristic gyro-frequencies and space scales longer than the Larmor radii, has been successfully used in recent years to model the dynamics ...
