Abstract: Recent studies in the field of robotic grasping have predominantly concentrated on generating valid grasps using geometric features of target objects, employing either analytical or deep ...

Fidget poppers are an example of "bistability," as the popped circles rest in one of two stable states. Purdue University researchers have taken this idea to its extreme, building robots that can be ...

The root of this prey-catching technique is a chemical ion channel named DmMSL10 that surrounds the base of a Venus fly trap’s sensory hairs. This membrane allows chemicals to pass through and is the ...

It has now been over a year since Ethiopia formally transitioned from a crawling peg exchange rate system--in place for more than three decades--to a market-based foreign currency regime. This shift ...

Abstract: The present research proposes contributing to the dynamic analysis of a specific type of tripod mechanism. This parallel mechanical architecture features three linkages connecting its fixed ...
