NEAT and HyperNEAT based Design for Soft Actuator Controllers
Since soft robotics are composed of compliant materials, they perform better than conventional rigid robotics in specific fields, such as medical applications. However, the field of soft robotics is fairly new, and the design process of their morphology and their controller strategies has not yet been thoroughly studied. Consequently, here, an automated design method for the controller of soft actuators based on Neuroevolution is proposed. Specifically, the suggested techniques employ Neuroevol…

Inflatable Kirigami Crawlers
Kirigami offers unique opportunities for guided morphing by leveraging the geometry of the cuts. This work presents inflatable kirigami crawlers created by introducing cut patterns into heat-sealable textiles to achieve locomotion upon cyclic pneumatic actuation. Inflating traditional air pouches results in symmetric bulging and contraction. In inflated kirigami actuators, the accumulated compressive forces uniformly break the symmetry, enhance contraction compared to simple air pouches by two …

I really enjoy painting this flag all over my workbench, it’s the best anarchist flag I’ve done so far.

9 Jahre alt – Skoda Yeti ohne Mängel
Mitte 2016 wurde unser Auto zum ersten Mal zugelassen. Ein Dreivierteljahr später, habe ich es aus Filderstadt nach Bad Oeynhausen geholt. Seitdem sind wir damit knapp 60 TKM gefahren und insgesamt hat er 73 TKM auf dem Zähler. Größere Reparaturen …

Series D, Episode 08 - Games
AVON: These adaptations, if they went in haphazardly, could they be removed the same way?
ORAC: A lot of them have been. There are circuits in the PPC section which serve no function at all now. It seems that games are added at a whim, and when the adaptor gets bored with them, taken out again.
