Abstract: Soft earthworm‐like robots that exhibit mechanical compliance can, in principle, navigate through uneven terrains and constricted spaces that are inaccessible to traditional legged and wheeled robots. However, unlike the biological originals that they mimic, most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/jstqe.2020.2964383
Abstract: Interfacing standard optical fibers with high index-contrast photonic waveguides remains a substantial challenge restricting the cost-efficiency and scalability of silicon photonic devices. To address this, we have proposed a mechanically compliant polymer interface, formed of… read more here.
