This algorithm is a modified version of the previously proposed polygon-based random tree search expanded to the use of variable polygons other than triangles. The algorithm defines a new foot placement for polygons and subsequently determines the lowest cost required to complete the locomotion path of a VTT with non-triangular faces. Using this algorithm, the path planning of a VTT with any type of polygon can be performed. The performance of the algorithm was validated using simulated results with reference polyhedrons.}, pdf = {https://pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/271599/1-s2.0-S0921889025X00099/1-s2.0-S0921889025002386/main.pdf?X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEHUaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJHMEUCIQDOzsiTI9gBH0b1LD4KEKvd%2FMJrZlxQITI5rCgBcHzjTgIgav3XTFpR0SOec%2BLhY19jNyDhCsHS832kymYZyhJtXsgqswUIPhAFGgwwNTkwMDM1NDY4NjUiDL1OpcxZiKtwzQuhqiqQBTFRNLmd3nBa4VFzd57vtoCZmqAyGacj1hkUk3sym4QMELNf8qoEGAz4jqsBR7oHQLLxZ5824VejmO3MSztw9QEUt1d2ii1TYnuALx0pCp9NUTXVWQpWzeJ0zrVRWmbgVpquRiO0o9g%2BQu7qH7%2BaJtXRGU4AskiZNJ5tVlKFfvFQd5oS41gIrNAOzEJgOMwFhCPosz2aXiciE6OS4oc90yTqDi96cwOr4YXO%2BbRArfRZp2DY%2BYwxwd0FnSXkToqPAfoKNufmrZAhSqSzvL%2BZ9MohggroRxBcf%2Fd7i7cwPSRGooXsay2ZtW5TLNNrWyhM6TgmGraxmlNzfPQ3iU4IaZMZjh%2BMurwcKXuPp5Sb3uuz%2Fee37FQF2%2F2L09XAA9iviupBVPyo7wcT4h5M08RPeOoFQ%2FH6jWOsx0akfUZmfO51fl713APHgaWHvqjP2L4Gk2VZib5BbT19sgCeP8aYaaBKo8QrvxRJZTRHX4YIw2oEsKlLRwZUQLGpPyFN%2FWxYQ5YKn8a3aY%2FR3kGooiROePkhPKKcxlsy0O7D9xe8%2Fzje%2BgATJ5zhSKxeubDdOOztj6gwRPA0ba0pEAsWBneVZoHfTzQjHfTzCbIJQ%2Bv6e%2Btkpjm8EbNAUsTTItVOp%2FWsjseuCOvNKUCi4GZJDI19GsPw9%2FYQfLKByZWO%2BGaW8SWvOVhyKRJwjQiVTQg3ki322u8MSFXPIwPkdJPUSQ4Woqglfc41VXBjZRIjz3xEqKwjrNL%2Bf0rbTxw%2BhfvWd7eOfppb95a4GVW1Ku0FzBj4HQLex5mi2bDWgUIVE1OdGpniEOYVJtU8Ew6xlLj%2Fqt3s0CWdz2FTOvNK51AyUhmQjK1gUir5ilg8G6vWcY9oe1UWMILclcwGOrEBmBoqTxayQRiD8TblHLHm9CVREFqcBKPrinPBTmWQcFhgwy19jvfsotJYxGICVlMMTmeeGbPcO1ouwiKY1hqvHxSeKDHNLfIoR60sUdS7yEGghpsLryigVp3TBa1RQ%2Bt5Zgy5fqIgdr9txb0Oo%2F4i7Hm%2BQuYua4f%2BSCnb1bsNnvIa%2BRIA%2FR5IiyKUSoWcYmYTp3flWrPSfCOX1XqPbqjFqGK9a8r%2BBaQ2DejmGQN2%2BFaE&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20260206T052332Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAQ3PHCVTYTXHBCXEJ%2F20260206%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=85230c1a638f24690f25bf7735c52323a946ad86cdf4562c3af7d66f4b9bdadb&hash=1cc8461f2f9ba13cd494c3abb8f0247fa75f0105cab7e6e70cb8d4d3f5befcc4&host=68042c943591013ac2b2430a89b270f6af2c76d8dfd086a07176afe7c76c2c61&pii=S0921889025002386&tid=spdf-37a69701-26c9-4635-b2a6-da5612faf782&sid=c3607f8e988bd54f372b1d61e8c9fc183c04gxrqa&type=client&tsoh=d3d3LnNjaWVuY2VkaXJlY3QuY29t&rh=d3d3LnNjaWVuY2VkaXJlY3QuY29t&ua=111457055b5b525957&rr=9c98374ccf267b0b&cc=us} } - P.

Unfortunately, these diminutive drones are currently constrained to carrying small payloads, in large part because they use propellers optimized for larger aircraft and inviscid flow regimes. Fully realizing the potential of emerging microflyers requires next-generation propellers that are specifically designed for low Reynolds number conditions and that include new features advantageous in highly viscous flows. One aspect that has received limited attention in the literature is the addition of roughness to propeller blades as a method of reducing drag and increasing thrust. To investigate this possibility, we used direct numerical simulation to conduct a numerical investigation of smooth and rough propellers. Our results indicate that roughness produces a 2\% increase in thrust and a 5\% decrease in power relative to a baseline smooth propeller operating at the same Reynolds number of Rec = 6500, held constant by rotational speed. We complement our numerical findings using thrust-stand-based experiments of 3D-printed propellers identical to those of the numerical simulations. Our study indicates that surface roughness is an additional parameter within the design space for micro-propellers, which may offer improved drone efficiencies and payloads.}, issn = {1070-6631}, doi = {10.1063/5.0176690}, eprint = {https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0176690}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0176690}, pdf = {https://pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/article-pdf/doi/10.1063/5.0176690/18226037/113607_1_5.0176690.pdf}, } - D.

These times include disaster recovery scenarios, lunar or martian exploration or in areas that are highly resource constrained such as third world countries. For these situations, found materials can be used to construct new robots or robotic elements such as exo-skeletons or orthoses as well as repair damaged components or structures.This paper quantifies the use of various fastening techniques for attaching together unstructured members, such as tree branches, with actuators to act as the building blocks for robotic links and joints. We quantify which fastener styles are ideal for fixed joints, or for revolute and spherical joints. The techniques considered range from more traditional methods such as diagonal and square lashings to using nuts and bolts to connect components together. In each area we analyze the pros and cons of the technique employed from a complexity, accuracy, and strength perspective. The techniques are then employed to build arm and wrist orthoses as well as a robotic gripper and walker. The range of motion of the orthoses are analyzed. The branch gripper has comparable performance to a commercially available gripper in terms of size and payload. In each case we discuss the pros and cons of these designs and how they can be improved upon.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1115/DETC2023-109541}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1115/DETC2023-109541}, pdf = {https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/IDETC-CIE/proceedings-pdf/IDETC-CIE2023/87363/V008T08A077/7062202/v008t08a077-detc2023-109541.pdf}, } - M.

This paper introduces a novel cable-driven steerable needle that has a 3mm turning radius based on tape spring mechanics, which sets a new minimum turn radius in stiffness-matched tissue models. Methods: We characterize the turn radius and the forces that affect control and performance and create predictive models to estimate required insertion forces and maximum insertion depth. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of a task outside the capabilities of a conventional needle. Results: Minimal force is required to maintain bends, allowing surrounding tissue to fix them in place, and minimal energy is required to propagate bends, allowing the device to navigate easily through various tissue phantoms. The turn radius of the device is independent of surrounding tissue stiffness, making for simple and precise control. We show that all aspects of performance depend on minimizing the tip cutting force. Under ultrasound guidance, we successfully navigate into and then follow a deep blood vessel model at a steep angle of approach. Conclusion: This design allows the system to accurately control the direction of the device while maintaining a smaller turn radius than other steerable needles, providing the potential to broaden access to challenging targets in patients.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.}, URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2023/05/07/2023.05.04.539394}, eprint = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2023/05/07/2023.05.04.539394.full.pdf}, journal = {bioRxiv}, pdf={https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.04.539394v1.full.pdf} } - A.

These systems are often direct-drive, so any torque ripple in the motor output must be minimal. Unfortunately, low-torque ripple motors are expensive. Low cost brushless direct current motors are becoming more prevalent, especially from the hobby remote control community. These motors often have the required high-torque density; however, they also have significant torque ripple. This paper presents a low cost method for anticogging, the compensation of cogging torque. While other methods exist to compensate for current-based torque ripple (mutual or reluctance torque), none have addressed cogging torque, except by adding expensive force sensors. This paper presents two methods that use a position sensor (already present for servo motors) to map cogging torque to rotor position. The map is played back according to position reported from the sensor to cancel the cogging torque. The design and testing of a low cost haptic arm using anticogging shows validation; however, the approach is much broader, and can be applied to any precision force application. A model of torque ripple sources are included as a function of pulse-width modulation frequency to help choose the optimal pulse-width modulation frequency to minimize torque ripple. Test results on eleven different motors show a removal of up to 88% of torque ripple with no added cost in robotic servo applications, and in some cases having better performance than motors that are over nine times as expensive.}, }

This is fundamentally different from traditional manufacturing, where objects are produced via sequences of predefined steps. In this work, we explore the idea of using simulated “swarms” of simple agents to generate new designs for architected materials in a decentralized, bioinspired manner. Individual agents choose their own actions based solely on information in their immediate environment, with no centralized control. The structures that these processes produce are the result of the collective action of the individual agents, rather than a predetermined design. We build an integrated platform for determining “rule-structure-property” relationships, analogous to process-structure-property relationships in materials science. The platform simulates agent behaviors to show how different rules and different environments result in different structures. We then three-dimensional print these and perform finite element analysis to experimentally and numerically characterize mechanical properties, including tensile strength and energy dissipation. Bioinspired swarms build nondeterministic structures.}, pdf = {https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/sciadv.adu8260} }
