Small-scale soft mobile robots are an attractive solution to gain access to hard-to-reach places. We demonstrate a thin (similar to 4 mm) and flexible mobile robot, 8 cm x 9 cm, mass 4 g, that uses 6 electrostatic zipping actuators with hydraulic coupling, ...

Compressor fouling is one of the most prevalent fault modes that contribute to the performance degradation of a gas turbine power plant. Off-line washing is a standard maintenance procedure to recover the fouling degradation, but with washing cost. In this ...

Les deltas lacustres sont des systèmes largement anthropisés rendant des services écosystémiques importants à l’Homme et à son environnement. Les travaux de protection contre les crues du siècle passé ont conduit à considérer l’embouchure comme un vecteur ...

Background Spinal cord injury leading to paraplegia affects the mobility and physiological well-being of one in a thousand people. Powered exoskeletons can temporarily restore the ability to walk. Their relevance in daily life is still limited because of l ...

We demonstrate a novel technique of contour-mode suppression of an integrated MEMS-photonic chip up to the first HBAR mode at 17 MHz. The flattened actuation response is critical to the development of compact LiDAR engine or low-noise frequency-agile laser ...

The fluid hammer phenomenon is a devastating incident that can cause substantial damages to the hydraulic systems. If the fluid reaches the vapor pressure due to high pressure gradients, the phenomenon is called column separation. In this study, the overpr ...
