Abstract: Soft actuators driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are capable of undergoing a large deformation and offering a fast response, which allows them to assemble soft robots for diverse ...
Abstract: Neural radiance fields (NeRFs) have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance for 3D computer vision tasks, including novel view synthesis and 3D shape reconstruction. However, these methods ...
Abstract: Tensegrity structures are becoming widely used in robotics, such as continuously bending soft manipulators and mobile robots to explore unknown and uneven environments dynamically.
Abstract: Trajectory segmentation refers to dividing a trajectory into meaningful consecutive sub-trajectories. This paper focuses on trajectory segmentation for 3D rigid-body motions. Most ...
Abstract: Vision-based shape estimation is promising to enhance applications of soft robots due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and simple calibration. However, most prevailing vision-based ...
Abstract: The problem this paper is concerned with is that of unsupervised learning for point cloud representation which can be used to build anatomy correspondence without need for registration.
A new shape shifting material can twist, bend, and snap into more than a dozen 3D forms without motors or wires, a breakthrough in "snapping morphogenesis" by NC State researchers led by Jie Yin. GOP ...
Abstract: Simple steel-tiled houses (SSHs), as lightweight and economical building materials, have been widely utilized in the process of urban development. However, SSH inevitably causes ...
Things get complicated when you’re in a relationship with someone. Because, for a lot of folks, once you’re with someone, you’re also intertwined with their other family members, too. This woman knows ...
