Helical structures are widely used in various engineering disciplines due to their energy storage and vibration damping characteristics. Existing studies have investigated the dynamic responses of ...

Aiming at poor profiling effect and uneven stubble caused by complex terrain of the suspended mower and flattening machine while harvesting alfalfa in hilly and mountainous areas, a profiling ...

Biological and artificial agents are faced with many of the same computational and mechanical problems, thus strategies evolved in the biological realm can serve as inspiration for robotic development ...

We present two frameworks for design optimization of a multi-chamber pneumatic-driven soft actuator to optimize its mechanical performance. The design goal is to achieve maximal horizontal motion of ...
