Scaling Up Soft Robotics: A Meter-Scale, Modular, and Reconfigurable Soft Robotic System

Li, Shuguang (author), Awale, Samer A. (author), Bacher, Katharine E. (author), Buchner, Thomas J. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Wood, Robert J. (author), Rus, Daniela (author)

Today's use of large-scale industrial robots is enabling extraordinary achievement on the assembly line, but these robots remain isolated from the humans on the factory floor because they are very powerful, and thus dangerous to be around. In contrast, the soft robotics research community has proposed soft robots that are safe for human...

Hopping trajectories due to long-range interactions determine surface accumulation of microalgae

Buchner, A.J.L.L. (author), Muller, K. (author), Mehmood, J. (author), Tam, D.S.W. (author)

The accumulation of motile cells at solid interfaces increases the rate of surface encounters and the likelihood of surface attachment, leading to surface colonization and biofilm formation. The cell density distribution in the vicinity of a physical boundary is influenced by the interactions between the microswimmers and their physical...

Analysis of centrifugal homogenization and its applications for emulsification & mechanical cell lysis

Singh, Kaustub (author), Gupta, Ankur (author), Buchner, A.J.L.L. (author), Ibis, F. (author), Pronk, J.W. (author), Tam, D.S.W. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)

We detail the analysis of centrifugal homogenization process by a hydrodynamic model and the model-guided design of a low-cost centrifugal homogenizer. During operation, centrifugal force pushes a multiphase solution to be homogenized through a thin nozzle, consequently homogenizing its contents. We demonstrate and assess the homogenization...

Volumetric measurements of a self-similar adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer using single-camera light-field particle image velocimetry

Zhao, Zhou (author), Buchner, A.J.L.L. (author), Ding, Junfei (author), Shi, Shengxian (author), Atkinson, Callum (author), Soria, Julio (author)

As a novel volumetric particle image velocimetry technique, single-camera light-field PIV (LF-PIV) is able to reconstruct three-dimensional flow fields with a single camera. The merits of LF-PIV lie in its concise hardware setup and minimum optical access requirement, its capability has been proved in many flow scenarios. In this study, LF-PIV...
