Wettability engineering of different surfaces has been in the spotlight for the last few decades for enhanced condensation heat transfer in various applications. In this study, we experimentally investigated the water vapor ...

The Maisotsenko Cycle (M-cycle), comprising of primary (dry) and secondary (wet) air channels, can cool atmospheric air down to its dew point temperature without increasing its humidity. The driving force for cooling, i.e., ...

In this paper, we develop a reinforcement learning (RL) based controller capable of stabilizing the swirling pendulum, a novel under-actuated two degrees of freedom system with a number of underlying peculiarities such as ...

In this study, we investigate the role of joint redundancy in robotic manipulators to enhance force production capabilities during task execution. Drawing inspiration from the adaptability found in nature and the benefits ...

In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, surveillance drones play an indispensable role in safeguarding both individuals and property. An intelligent autonomous surveillance drone offers promising solutions to ...

Legged robotics has gained prominence as a form of locomotion in robots offering distinct advantages such as terrain adaptation and isolation of foot contact. Hopping leg mechanisms in robotics have focussed mainly on ...

Flying a drone is as simple as playing a video game. However, the suspension of the payload underneath complicates its dynamic behavior and makes control challenging. The default onboard control algorithms are not designed ...

Intermittent control is widely used in various robotic applications and a variety of literature is available on the same. An intermittent control strategy monitors variables of interest continuously and takes corrective ...

Neuromuscular diseases, such as stroke, often causes ankle joint impairment making daily life activities difficult. The inability to create plantar flexion and dorsiflexion at the ankle joint results in an abnormal gait. ...

Tendon-driven Flexible Continuum Manipulators (FCMs) have proven their potential usability in confined and unstructured environments where rigid-link manipulators under-perform. However, inverse kinematics remains a ...
