Metamaterials are composites with a very precisely controlled structure. It is this structure that determines the properties of the metamaterial, not the substances it is made of. Typically, a ...

Abstract: The introduction of Fourier analysis or series in robot navigation algorithms greatly improves the capability to find solutions to many inherent applications and tasks of robotic systems.

Abstract: In this paper, the design and control analysis of a lightweight, miniaturized worm-inspired robot actuated by 8 mini coreless DC motors are presented. The robot’s movement capabilities ...
