Mechanical springs are essential components that enable to store elastic energy and to determine the natural frequency of resonators. In mechanical watches, spiral springs are used for both of these functions. Spiral springs are compact, they are compatible with rotational...
Predicting the propagation of shock waves in tunnel-like structures is crucial for various engineering applications, including supersonic flight, blast protection, and underground explosions. However, the predictive tools currently available to engineers remain limited in their ability to accurately capture the...
Robotic systems are increasingly used in high-stakes domains that demand precision and safety, with surgical robotics serving as a prominent example. In surgical robotics, technical proficiency is crucial to patient outcomes; however, surgeons’ training still relies on human instructors, which...
Robots are a key part of our future; they will need to be able to move and work in various environments and with changing interactions with objects and environment. A big part of today’s research focuses on different aspects of...
