Choosing tiles is just one step in creating a kitchen backsplash. The pattern in which you'll lay them on the wall can make ...

Abstract: Vision-based shape estimation is promising to enhance applications of soft robots due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and simple calibration. However, most prevailing vision-based ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

Abstract: This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the ...
