A four-dimensional [4D--three-dimensional (3D) shape varying in time] shape measurement system is described. A single 3D shape of an object is calculated from only one frame. The projected pattern is composed of sinusoidal intensity fringes and one color-encoded stripe, the analysis of which allows us to find the absolute coordinates of the measured object. During measurement, the position of the stripe changes due to the improvement of the quality of spatiotemporal unwrapping. The fringes deformed by the shape of the object are captured by a CCD camera and processed by an adaptive spatial carrier phase-shifting algorithm. The use of an algorithm based on fast Fourier transformation is proposed to approximate the local period of fringes. A new phase-unwrapping routine based on the spatiotemporal information is presented as well. All these features make the 3D shape measurement of an object in motion possible with the additional advantage of using a low-cost system. Experimental results of the developed method together with a preliminary assessment of measurement uncertainty are presented to show the validity of the method.

Theorists across all fields of psychology consider goals crucial for human action control. Still, the question of how precisely goals are represented in the cognitive system is rarely addressed. Here, we explore the idea that goals are represented as distributed patterns of activation that coexist within continuous mental spaces.

The quest for anisotropic superconductors has been a long-standing pursuit due to their potential applications in quantum computing. In this regard, experimentally, d-wave and anisotropic s-wave superconducting order parameters are predominantly observed, while p-wave superconductors remain largely elusive. Achieving p-wave superconductivity in topological phases is highly desirable, as it is considered suitable for creating topologically protected qubits.

Soft robots and bioinspired systems have revolutionized robot design by incorporating flexibility and deformable materials inspired by nature's ingenious designs. Similar to many robotic applications, sensing and perception are paramount to enable soft robots to adeptly navigate the unpredictable real world, ensuring safe interactions with both humans and the environment. Despite recent progress, soft robot sensorization still faces significant challenges due to the virtual infinite degrees of freedom of the system and the need for efficient computational models capable of estimating valuable information from sensor data.

Thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) adhesives have demonstrated a high adhesion strength and large switching ratios on different substrates. However, a long response time to switch adhesion on or off is generally encountered. This study provides a fast adhesion switching method based on the temperature and rate dependence of adhesion within the glass-transition zone of an epoxy polymer.
