Abstract: A soft landing directly influences the safety of devices and the follow-on work of a lander. Therefore, research on the interaction between the lander and the lunar regolith is of great significance. Different from the… read more here.

Abstract: Many legged robots have compliant mechanisms in the distal segments of their legs called distal compliance. One important function of such characteristic is to buffer landing impact at touchdown. However, there is still no general… read more here.
