Interaction of in-line twin synthetic jets with a separated flow by Wen, Xin, Tang, Hui, Duan, Fei

“…It is found that, in most of the cases, the heads of hairpin vortices that are produced from the upstream SJ actuator do not change too much, and the vortex legs are highly stretched by the separated shear layer. …”

Frequency-dependent force direction elucidates neural control of balance by Shiozawa, Kaymie, Lee, Jongwoo, Russo, Marta, Sternad, Dagmar, Hogan, Neville

“…The simplest competent model that approximated a standing human was a double inverted pendulum with torque-actuated ankle and hip joints. A range of controller parameters could stabilize this model and reproduce the general trend observed in experimental data; this result seems to indicate a biomechanical constraint and not a consequence of control. …”

Exoskeleton-covered soft finger with vision-based proprioception and tactile sensing by She, Yu, Liu, Sandra Q., Yu, Peiyu, Adelson, Edward

“…We design a highly underactuated exoskeleton with a tendon-driven mechanism to actuate the finger. Finally, we assemble 2 of the fingers together to form a robotic gripper and successfully perform a bar stock classification task, which requires both shape and tactile information. …”
