Recent advances brought the performance of MEMS-based varifocal mirrors to levels
comparable to conventional ultra-high-speed focusing devices. Varifocal mirrors are …

Future robotic systems will be pervasive technologies operating autonomously in unknown
spaces that are shared with humans. Such complex interactions make it compulsory for them …

An optofluidic iris, which uses the absorption of an opaque liquid in combination with a
second transparent liquid for defining optical apertures of variable diameters, tuned by …

This paper presents recent advances in multiagent sensing and operation in dynamic
environments. Technology trends point towards a fusion of wireless sensor networks with …

Here we introduce a novel micro-hydraulic structure that can significantly improve
performance of many MEMS devices. Using this structure we fabricate and test a new type of …

A lightweight, simple-structured, and fast-response buoyancy adjustment actuator is
essential for underwater vehicles. This article presents the design of an electro-hydraulic …

Small autonomous aerial systems require the ability to detect roll, pitch, and yaw to enable
stable flight. Existing inertial measurement units (IMUs) are incapable of accurately …

MEMS micro-hydraulic structures for amplification of force or deflection are introduced.
These structures are integrated with capacitances to form electrostatic micro-hydraulic …

Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of mortality in the US and percutaneous
coronary intervention with stent placement is a common treatment. Stents often fail through …

Multiple fingers are often used for efficient interaction with handheld computing devices.
Currently, any tactile feedback provided is felt on the finger pad or the palm with coarse …
