Near-Zero Parasitic Shift Flexure Pivots Based on Coupled n-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Design of a Flexure-Based Flywheel for the Storage of Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Patrick Robert Flückiger

The flywheel is a widespread mechanical component used for the storage of kinetic energy and angular momentum. It typically consists of cylindrical inertia rotating about its axis on rolling bearings, which involves undesired friction, lubrication, and wea ...

Benign termination of runaway electron beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Joan Decker, Umar Sheikh, Claudia Colandrea, Luke Simons, Jean Arthur Cazabonne, Bernhard Sieglin, Gergely Papp

This paper discusses the development of a benign termination scenario for runaway electron (RE) beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV. A systematic study revealed that a low electron density (n e) companion plasma was required to achieve a large MHD instability, ...

Dynamic Modeling of an Origami Prismatic Joint

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Jian-Lin Huang

Dynamic modeling of folding joints is critical for predicting dynamic behavior, optimizing design parameters, and developing control strategies for origami robots and machines. Although kinematics of the folded joints exists, little research describes thei ...

Robust Collaborative Learning with Linear Gradient Overhead

Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, John Stephan, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Le Nguyen Hoang, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

Collaborative learning algorithms, such as distributed SGD (or D-SGD), are prone to faulty machines that may deviate from their prescribed algorithm because of software or hardware bugs, poisoned data or malicious behaviors. While many solutions have been ...

Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion

Laura Isabel Paez Coy

Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...
