We analyze the dynamics of a tracer particle embedded in a bath of hard spheres confined in a channel of varying section. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations, we apply a constant force on the tracer particle and discuss the dependence of its mobility ...
Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Protein-protein recognition and binding are governed by diffusion, noncovalent forces and conformational flexibility, entangled in a way that only molecular dynamics simulations can dissect at high resolution. Here we exploited ubiquitin's noncovalent dime ...
We analyze the force on a point charge moving at relativistic speeds parallel to the surface of a uniaxial dielectric. Two cases are examined: a lossless dielectric with no dispersion and a dielectric with a plasma-type response. The treatment focuses on t ...
The present invention related to an optical force sensing element for microsurgical instruments (22), for measuring force F in three orthogonal directions x, y, z, comprising a monolithic cylinder structure (1), a cylindrical surface (4) and a top surface ...
We present the fabrication and testing of a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in low Earth orbit in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. Instead of the current Earth sensing ...

A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...
