Steerable miniature jumping robot
Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost. In order to be able to perform repetitive jumps in a given direction, it is important to be able to upright after landing, steer and jump again. In this article, we review and evaluate the...
متن کاملA Short Proof that the Extension Complexity of the Correlation Polytope Grows Exponentially
We establish that the extension complexity of the n × n correlation polytope is at least 1.5 n by a short proof that is self-contained except for using the fact that every face of a polyhedron is the intersection of all facets it is contained in. The main innovative aspect of the proof is a simple combinatorial argument showing that the rectangle covering number of the unique-disjointness matri...
متن کاملA Family That Grows From Within
Hydrolytic cleavage of large, inert proteins into smaller, active products is a common event in biology. The active products usually enjoy brief useful lifespans before they themselves are cleaved into inactive fragments. Prototypic participants in this process include clotting factors, complement, and digestive enzymes. Angiotensin II (Ang II) was the first polypeptide hormone recognized as th...
متن کاملA soft robot that navigates its environment through growth
Across kingdoms and length scales, certain cells and organisms navigate their environments not through locomotion but through growth. This pattern of movement is found in fungal hyphae, developing neurons, and trailing plants, and is characterized by extension from the tip of the body, length change of hundreds of percent, and active control of growth direction. This results in the abilities to...
متن کاملTorsional Dynamics and Rotational Estimation of Tip-steerable Needles
In this dissertation, we present improvements to modeling of tip-steerable needles and new estimation techniques with applications to tip-steerable needles. Previous models of tip-steerable needles assumed the angles and velocities at the tip and base of the needle were equivalent. Such assumptions were simplifying, but not accurate. Additionally, to accurately control the trajectories of tip-s...
