Non-contact robotic manipulation of floating objects: exploiting emergent limit cycles

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Nana Obayashi

The study of non-contact manipulation in water, and the ability to robotically control floating objects has gained recent attention due to wide-ranging potential applications, including the analysis of plastic pollution in the oceans and the optimization o ...

Influence of Fin and Finger Number on TID Degradation of 16-nm Bulk FinFETs Irradiated to Ultrahigh Doses

Christian Enz

This article investigates the fin- and finger-number dependence of the total ionizing dose (TID) degradation in 16-nm bulk Si FinFETs at ultrahigh doses. n- and p-FinFETs designed with different numbers of fins and fingers are irradiated up to 500 Mrad(SiO ...

Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

Pre-impact detection algorithm to identify lack of balance due to tripping-like perturbations

Silvestro Micera

This study investigates the performance of an updated version of our pre-impact detection algorithm while parsing out hip kinematics in order to identify unexpected tripping-like perturbations during walking. This approach grounds on the hypothesis that du ...

Impact of Fin Width on Tri-Gate GaN MOSHEMTs

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Luca Nela, Giovanni Santoruvo, Taifang Wang

In this paper, we present a detailed investigation of the impact of fin width (w(fin)) on tri-gate AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MOSHEMTs). As w(fin) is reduced, the threshold voltage (V-TH) increases, which is due ...

Soft Biomimetic Fish Robot Made of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Dario Floreano, Herbert Shea, Jun Shintake, Vito Cacucciolo

This article presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a soft biomimetic robotic fish based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) that swims by body and/or caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. BCF is a promising locomotion mechanism that potenti ...

Micro-flock patterns and macro-clusters in chiral active Brownian disks

Chiral active particles (or self-propelled circle swimmers) feature a rich collective behavior, comprising rotating macro-clusters and micro-flock patterns which consist of phase-synchronized rotating clusters with a characteristic self-limited size. These ...

Tissue-specific enhancer repression through molecular integration of cell signaling inputs

Bart Deplancke

Drosophila leg morphogenesis occurs under the control of a relatively well-known genetic cascade, which mobilizes both cell signaling pathways and tissue-specific transcription factors. However, their cross-regulatory interactions, deployed to refine leg p ...

Working fluid charge reduction. Part II: Supercritical CO2 gas cooler designed for light commercial appliances

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen

The present study focused on the thermal hydraulic performance improvement of a CO2 gas cooler with the principal goal of reducing its volume, and consequently the necessary charge of the working fluid. To achieve this compactness, the leading methods for ...

Infiltrating the Zebrafish Swarm: Design, Implementation and Experimental Tests of a Miniature Robotic Fish Lure for Fish-Robot Interaction Studies

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Yuta Kato

Robotic fish are nowadays developed for various types of research, such as bio-inspired robotics, biomimetics and animal behavior studies. In the context of our research on the social interactions of the zebrafish Danio Rerio, we developed a miniature robo ...
