Active microrheology in corrugated channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We analyze the dynamics of a tracer particle embedded in a bath of hard spheres confined in a channel of varying section. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations, we apply a constant force on the tracer particle and discuss the dependence of its mobility ...

Haptic Guidance with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Assessing the potential of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to probe reversible protein-protein recognition and binding

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Protein-protein recognition and binding are governed by diffusion, noncovalent forces and conformational flexibility, entangled in a way that only molecular dynamics simulations can dissect at high resolution. Here we exploited ubiquitin's noncovalent dime ...

Optical force sensing element and microsurgical instrument

Simon Nessim Henein

The present invention related to an optical force sensing element for microsurgical instruments (22), for measuring force F in three orthogonal directions x, y, z, comprising a monolithic cylinder structure (1), a cylindrical surface (4) and a top surface ...

Interaction of a point charge with the surface of a uniaxial dielectric

Primoz Rebernik Ribic

We analyze the force on a point charge moving at relativistic speeds parallel to the surface of a uniaxial dielectric. Two cases are examined: a lossless dielectric with no dispersion and a dielectric with a plasma-type response. The treatment focuses on t ...

A micromachined earth sensor based on measuring the gravity gradient torque

Herbert Shea, Kaustav Ghose

We present the fabrication and testing of a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in low Earth orbit in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. Instead of the current Earth sensing ...

Concept, modeling and experimental characterization of the modulated friction inertial drive (MFID) locomotion principle : application to mobile microrobots

A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...
