Symmetry Method for Limit Cycle Walking of Legged Robots.
(2016)
Dynamic steady-state walking or running gaits for legged robots correspond to periodic orbits in the dynamic model. The common method for obtaining such periodic orbits is conducting a numerical search for fixed points of ...
Stabilizing Momopedal Robot Running: Reduction-by-Feedback and Compliant Hybrid Zero Dynamics.
(2009)
As an alternative to traditional wheeled and tracked ground vehicles, biologically-inspired legged systems are becoming increasingly common. On a macroscopic level, locomotion on land can be understood through the introduction ...
A Multiple Height Transfer Interferometric Technique and Its Applications
(2012)
Absolute distance interferometric metrology is one of the most useful techniques for dimensional measurements. Without movement, measurements can be made without ambiguity, by using either one or several synthetic wavelengths. ...
Design and Optimization of Power Supplies for Wireless Integrated Microsystems.
(2008)
In this work, we developed a novel power supply for the WIMS-ERC intraocular sensor (WIMS-IOS), an autonomous and implantable system. This device is representative of a broad class of microscale devices, whose full ...
High Resolution Lithography-Compatible Micro-Electro-Discharge Machining of Bulk Metal Foils for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems.
(2009)
The application of batch mode micro-electro-discharge machining (µEDM) to the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems has opened the door to lithographically compatible precision machining of all bulk metals. High ...
Packaging Technologies for Millimeter Scale Microsystems in Harsh Environment Applications
(2016)
Microsystems capable of sensing temperature, pressure and other parameters are needed for many applications, for example, gathering information in downhole environments for oil and gas exploration. Certain target locations ...
The Applications of Microcavity Lasers in Multimodality Imaging
(2021)
Multimodality imaging technologies have attracted wide attention in both biological researches and clinical practice. However, the low image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the limited capability to label multiple targets ...
Hybrid Electric Powertrain Design and Control with Planetary Gear Sets for Performance and Fuel Economy
(2018)
Planetary gear sets (PGs) play a key role in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) design by enabling a variety of unique architectures using a limited number of powertrain components. Leveraging the capability of this mechanical ...
