- Description:
- Robotic models are useful for independently varying specific features, but most quadrupedal robots differ so greatly from animal morphologies that they have minimal evolutionary relevance. Commercially available quadrupedal robots are also prohibitively expensive for biological research programs and difficult to customize. Here, we present a low-cost quadrupedal robot with modular legs that can match a wide range of animal morphologies for biomechanical hypothesis testing. The Robot Of Theseus (TROT) costs ≈$4000 to build out of 3D printed parts and standard off-the-shelf supplies. Each limb consists of 2 or 3 rigid links; the proximal joint can be rotated to become a knee or elbow. Telescoping mechanisms vary the length of each limb link. The open-source software accommodates user-defined gaits and morphology changes. Effective leg length, or crouch, is determined by the four-bar linkage actuating each joint. The backdrivable motors can vary virtual spring stiffness and range of motion.

- Description:
- This dataset contains experimental measurements of a zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate boundary layer at five different Reynolds numbers collected using particle image velocimetry. For each Reynolds number, the dataset contains approximately 6000 snapshots of planar velocity fields as well as raw particle image pairs. All data are stored within hdf5 files, and a Matlab script showing how the data can be read and manipulated is provided. Please see the ‘BLexp_README.pdf’ file for more information. We recommend using the ‘BLexp_example.zip’ file as an entry point to the dataset. and The dataset is part of “A database for reduced-complexity modeling of fluid flows” (see references below) and is intended to aid in the conception, training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid mechanics. The paper introduces the flow setup and computational methods, describes the available data, and provides an example of how these data can be used for reduced-complexity modeling. Users of these data should cite the papers listed below.

- Description:
- Data deposited here includes 60 image sets (30 individual participants, and 2 eyes per individual) consisting of raw fluorescence images, diffuse reflection images using ambient lighting, images used for correction, and calibration, and metadata. Images are split into two wavelength bands as described in the methodology. Raw images are stored in Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) file nodes (one file per eye) and each image node contains a tag for frame rate, exposure duration, and timestamp (stored in ImageData.zip). Summary statistics including demographic data, participant-reported diseases (e.g., diabetes, keratoconus), and pupil size are also stored in a text-based comma-separated table and as an Excel spreadsheet. Finally, 2-channel pseudocolor images and ratiometric grayscale images combining the two fully-processed image bands are stored as portable network graphics (PNG) files (stored in PseudocolorImages.zip).

- Description:
- This work characterized variability in the emitter geometry of a porous electrospray array thruster. It consists of raw topographic maps taken from the thruster, segmented versions of those maps that divide the measurement domain into individual sites within the array, and the geometric parameters describing each of those sites inferred by regressing a geometric model of an emitter against the data. It also includes copies of the computer code used to perform this analysis and plot the results, written in a combination of Python and MATLAB.

- Description:
- The MEVDT dataset was created to fill a critical gap in event-based computer vision research by supplying a high-quality, real-world labeled dataset. Intended to facilitate the development of advanced algorithms for object detection and tracking applications, MEVDT includes multi-modal traffic scene data with synchronized grayscale images and high-temporal-resolution event streams. Additionally, it provides annotations for object detection and tracking with class labels, pixel-precise bounding box coordinates, and unique object identifiers. The dataset is organized into directories containing sequences of images and event streams, comprehensive ground truth labels, fixed-duration event samples, and data indexing sets for training and testing. and To access and utilize the dataset, researchers need specific software or scripts compatible with the data formats included, such as PNG for grayscale images, CSV for event stream data, AEDAT for the encoded fixed-duration event samples, and TXT for annotations. Recommended tools include standard image processing libraries for PNG files and CSV or text parsers for event data. A specialized Python script for reading AEDAT files is available at: https://github.com/Zelshair/cstr-event-vision/blob/main/scripts/data_processing/read_aedat.py, which streamlines access to the encoded event sample data.

- Description:
- This collection contains estimates of the water balance of the Laurentian Great Lakes that were produced by the Large Lakes Statistical Water Balance Model (L2SWBM). Each data set has a different configuration and was used as the supplementary for a published peer-reviewed article (see "Citations to related material" section in the metadata of individual data sets). The key variables that were estimated by the L2SWBM are (1) over-lake precipitation, (2) over-lake evaporation, (3) lateral runoff, (4) connecting-channel outflows, (5) diversions, and (6) predictive changes in lake storage. and Contact: Andrew Gronewold Office: 4040 Dana Phone: (734) 764-6286 Email: drewgron@umich.edu

- Description:
- This collection contains a hierarchy of test problems for turbulent reacting flow simulations. It is meant to provide a testbed to build reduced model for relevant challenging reacting flow problems using different methods. In addition, this collection also serves to engage a broad community of experts in computational science and the field of engineering to address certain challenges in constructing reduced models for reacting flow simulations. All the datasets in this collection were generated under the Air Force Center of Excellence on Multi-Fidelity Modeling of Rocket Combustion Dynamics and the goal of the center is to advance the state-of-the-art in Reduced Order Models (ROMs) and enable efficient and accurate prediction of instabilities in liquid fueled rocket combustion systems.
