Building better robots (Sciworthy)

Scientists developed a new model to improve the gripping performance of electroadhesive clutches in robots. Their upgraded cyber-hand was nearly 30 times…

The scientists in this study developed a fracture mechanics based model to better predict the force capacity of electroadhesive clutches. The scientists measured the force capacity of electroadhesive clutches of different geometries. In a robotic system, it is not always possible to increase the contact area, so the scientists focused on decreasing the compliance of the clutch. Using calculations based on the study of cracking in materials, or fracture mechanics, they demonstrated the force capacity depended on two factors related to the clutch’s shape. Comparing the weight of the bags, they concluded the robotic hand with an electroadhesive clutch could hold 27 times more weight. They also showed the force capacity depended on how much the clutch would change in volume under an applied force, or the compliance.

A flexible clutch would improve robotic systems, such as the swimming efficiency of [robotic fish](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34380755/) or [mechanical grippers](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.aax5425) that can gently lift objects. They suspected the current model did not accurately predict electroadhesive behavior, limiting improvements on clutch force capacity. The top and bottom layers can no longer slide and the clutch becomes stiff. When there is no voltage applied across an electroadhesive clutch, the top and bottom layers can slide relative to each other, keeping the joint flexible. Scientists have demonstrated they could improve the performance of robotic systems, such as

ROCKINGHAM — Senior point guard Dakota Chavis hit his biggest three-pointer of the season with 1:43 left in the fourth quarter of Thursday's second round 4A ...

In the final 1:20, McNeil Jr. An 11-6 run by Richmond over the next three minutes saw five points from Drake and a McNeil Jr. drained one of his two triples in the game from the left corner and Cole finished the half with a pair of shots from downtown. In the closing 3:24 seconds of the half, Richmond closed the gap to two points at the break. The stretch culminated in Chavis’ three-pointer, making it a 65-59 lead. Junior Javian Drake, who scored all 10 of his points in the second half, started with a free throw. A Hamilton jumper in the paint, followed by an old-fashioned three-point play by McNeil Jr. Richmond’s final two points of the first came on a pair of McNeil Jr. The Raiders used a technical foul on Sanderson coach Roy Roberson to send McNeil Jr. Adding the first of his four points in the win, freshman Jayden Hamilton stopped in transition and used a shot fake to lay in two easy points. Held to just eight points in the first half, McNeil Jr. In a game that proved to be heavy on defense from both squads, the No.

Review: Louis Garneau 7-pocket Clutch gravel jersey & 3-pocket ... (Bikerumor)

With a whopping 10 pockets between them, LG's "Groad" jersey and bibshorts are a great way to bring all the snacks along.

The chamois pad is very good (they say it has an anti-vibration insert), with a mesh split at the front and perforated foam to improve air flow down there. And, the kit runs a bit big. While I probably wouldn’t overload all five/seven pockets at once, it’s nice to spread the load out over a wider area. Whether its a 100-mile race or an all-day adventure with friends, unless you’ve got bags and compartments on your bike, all the food and gear needs to go on you. So, the Louis Garneau Clutch Jersey with it’s adjustable pocket count seemed like a solid solution. Where it really shines is the pocket count.
