Improvements on the uniformity of large-area microlens arrays in Fused Silica

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Jeremy Béguelin

The uniformity of large microlens arrays in Fused Silica is governed by the production process. It comprises photolithographic patterning of a spin-coated layer of photoresist on a 200mm wafer with a molten resist reflow process and subsequent dry etching. ...

An inverse optimization approach to understand human acquisition of kinematic coordination in bimanual fine manipulation tasks

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao

Tasks that require the cooperation of both hands and arms are common in human everyday life. Coordination helps to synchronize in space and temporally motion of the upper limbs. In fine bimanual tasks, coordination enables also to achieve higher degrees of ...
