Curvature-Controlled Polarization in Adaptive Ferroelectric Membranes

Posted by klaurent March 7, 2025Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | Summary:In this study, we explore the ferroelectric domain structure and mechanical properties of PbTiO$_3$-based membranes, which develops a well-ordered and crystallographic-oriented ripple pattern upon release from their growth substrate. The ferrolectric domain structure of the PbTiO$_3$ layer was examined at various length scales using optical second harmonic generation, piezoresponse […]

Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) Joint for a Modular, Foldable Manipulator with Enhanced Reachability and Dexterity

Posted by dbos March 7, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Jianshu Zhou, Junda Huang, Boyuan Liang, Xiang Zhang, Xin Ma | Summary: Robotic manipulators, traditionally designed with classical joint-link articulated structures, excel in industrial applications but face challenges in human-centered and general-purpose tasks requiring greater dexterity and adaptability. To address these challenges, we propose the Prismatic-Bending Transformable […]
