This article proposes a swirling actuator that uses the electromagnetic radial force and mechanical gears to generate rotational torque. The proposed actuator generates a rotating radial force between an inner stator and a swirler. The gears on the swirler ...
This article presents a novel torque measuring setup working in the nano newton-meter range. The central novelty is a long (1 meter range) thin (diameter of a few tens of micrometers) metallic wire used instead of the relatively stiff torsion zone of the s ...

Rodent models are decisive for translational research in healthy and pathological conditions of motor function thanks to specific similarities with humans. Here, we present an upgraded version of the M-Platform, a robotic device previously designed to trai ...
We report on noise-induced spin ordering in a collective quasiparticle system: spinor stochastic resonance. Synergetic interplay of a polarization-modulated signal and a polarization noise allows us to switch coherently between the two metastable states of ...
