Legged robots are well-suited for human-designed environments and have demonstrated strong potential. However, the energy efficiency of legged robots remains insufficiently investigated. A common phenomenon in rigid-legged robots is energy dissipation caused by foot-ground collisions, which significantly reduces overall energy...

Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar give rise to a problem, since they’re not always available, they require grid-scale storage solutions. The field of flow battery technologies is a suggested solution for this problem. This is done by...

I will present a new fabrication method that uses surface tension and boundary elements to drive a volume of liquid polymer into a desired structural element in a simulated zero-gravity environment. This method creates rigid elements with extremely smooth surfaces,...

Jet flows arise in a wide range of engineering and environmental applications, including particle transport, combustion, and mixing. In this experimental research, the near-field flow and fiber dynamics of turbulent, round coaxial jets were examined. Coaxial jets are characterized by...

Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their low energy requirements and volume efficiency. However, photopolymerization generates significant heat, which is difficult to dissipate in...

The progression of war is filled with surprises, misjudgments, and complex interactions. This deep uncertainty makes it difficult for traditional predictive models to capture the true dynamics of warfare, often rendering predictions highly unreliable and posing a critical challenge to...
