In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a strategy to guide a mobile ground robot equipped with a camera or depth sensor, in order to autonomously map the visible part of a bounded 3-D structure. We describe ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A simulation engine is a powerful tool that provides realistic approximations of physical systems. With maple-sim, we integrate the open-source Java rigid-body dynamics engine, dyn4j, capable of ...

Abstract: Due to high degree of freedoms (DOFs), motion planning of the cable-driven snake robot is challenging and usually tackled by the iterative Jacobian-based method. This iterative method adopts ...
