This paper presents design, implementation and control of a 3RPS-R exoskeleton, specifically built to impose targeted therapeutic exercises to forearm and wrist. Design of the exoskeleton features enhanced ergonomy, enlarged workspace and optimized device performance when compared to previous versions of the device. Passive velocity field control (PVFC) is implemented at the task space of the manipulator to provide assistance to the patients, such that the exoskeleton follows a desired velocity field asymptotically while maintaining passivity with respect to external applied torque inputs. PVFC is augmented with virtual tunnels and resulting control architecture is integrated into a virtual flight simulator with force-feedback. Experimental results are presented indicating the applicability and effectiveness of using PVFC on 3RPS-R exoskeleton to deliver therapeutic movement exercises.

Soft robots based on actuators that can work in both on-ground and on-water situations are environmentally adaptable and can accomplish tasks in complex environments. However, most current amphibious actuators need external stimuli to move on water and require complex preparation processes. Herein, amphibious Ink-paper/polyethylene programmable actuators and robots are proposed, which are fabricated by rapidly brushing Chinese ink on paper.

Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest volcanic systems on Earth, hosting three major caldera-forming eruptions in the past two million years, interspersed with periods of less explosive, smaller-volume eruptions. Caldera-forming eruptions at Yellowstone are sourced by rhyolitic melts stored within the mid- to upper crust. Seismic tomography studies have suggested that a broad region of rhyolitic melt extends beneath Yellowstone Caldera, with an estimated melt volume that is one to four times greater than the eruptive volume of the largest past caldera-forming eruption, and an estimated melt fraction of 6-28 per cent.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are essential for various industrial fields, but wrinkles inside will greatly reduce their mechanical properties. Full-matrix capture (FMC) is a popular data structure for ultrasonic phased array imaging in composites. However, such structure may lead to data redundancy and noise interference.

As natural resources continue to be exploited, dense medium cyclones (DMCs) are increasingly utilized for the preconcentration of low-grade ores to meet the demands for higher feed grade, increased processing capacity, and reduced energy consumption. However, determining the optimal fineness of ferrosilicon remains ambiguous for different types of ores and is often described as more of an art than a science. This paper investigates the subtle effects of ferrosilicon fineness on flow field characteristics, medium classification, and the ore separation process using a validated numerical approach, which integrates a two-fluid model, a turbulence dispersion model, and a discrete phase model.
