Haptic feedback perception and learning with cable-driven guidance in exosuit teleoperation of a simulated drone

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Amy Roning Wu, Vivek Ramachandran, Carine Rognon

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to use. ...

Patterns of Carbon Nanotubes by Flow-Directed Deposition on Substrates with Architectured Topographies

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We develop and perform continuum mechanics simulations of carbon nanotube (CNT) deployment directed by a combination of surface topography and rarefied gas flow. We employ the discrete elastic rods method to model the deposition of CNT as a slender elastic ...

Aeroelastic deformation of a perforated strip

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Mark Andrew Guttag

We perform a combined experimental and numerical investigation into the static deformation of perforated elastic strips under uniform aerodynamic loading at high-Reynolds-number conditions. The static shape of the porous strips, clamped either horizontally ...

Segregation of large particles in dense granular flows suggests a granular Saffman effect

Christophe Ancey, Kasper van der Vaart

We report on the scaling between the lift force and the velocity lag experienced by a single particle of different size in a monodisperse dense granular chute flow. The similarity of this scaling to the Saffman lift force in (micro-) fluids, suggests an in ...

Active microrheology in corrugated channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

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 with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

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 ...

Unsteady fluid dynamics around a hovering flat plate wing

Swathi Badala Krishna

Insect flight is characterised by complex time-dependent flows in response to the unsteady wing movements. Biological fliers exploit the unsteady flow fields to modulate aerodynamic forces, thereby displaying unmatched flight performance, especially in hov ...

Nanocapillaries combined with optical tweezers as a single molecule technique for studying DNA-protein complexes

Roman Bulushev

Interactions of proteins with DNA are essential for carrying out DNA's biological functions and performing a cellular cycle. Such processes as DNA replication, expression and repair are performed by an organised action of various proteins. To better unders ...

Investigation of Nanosecond Pulse Dielectric Barrier Discharges in Still Air and in Transonic Flow by Optical Methods

Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke, Sami Goekce

In the present study the interaction of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) actuators with aerodynamic flow up to transonic velocities was investigated. The primary focus was on the influence of the flow on the discharge and the effects ...
