  • Structure and Actuation of Cephalopod-Inspired Soft Robots

    Creator:
    Olson, Gina M.
    Abstract:
    Cephalopod-inspired soft robot arms have been studied as a new type of manipulator. These arms have been proposed for reach and grab tasks, underwater locomotion via swimming and walking, and robotic surgery. However, the capabilities of existing soft arms are limited to simple motions and light loads. Arm design has...

    Alshehri, Ahmad S.
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flow with suspended, non-spherical particles can be found in nature and several industrial applications. Although turbulence with dispersed spherical particles has been studied extensively, modeling the dynamics of non-spherical particles in a turbulent flow has not been studied extensively. Motion of spherical particles in complex flows is typically captured...

  • An Application of Visual Management to Reduce In-house Material Handling Wastes in SMEs with High Product Variety and Low Volume

    Creator:
    Kopriva, Cody
    Abstract:
    Small and medium-sized enterprises that are characterized by high-mix, low-volume, and highly variable production operations often have unstructured material movement processes that are prone to material handling wastes. These sub-optimal material handling systems are oftentimes a result of small and medium-sized enterprise's limited resources. Current tools to assist organizations in...
