Modeling the Neuromuscular Control System of an Octopus Arm
Tixian Wang, Udit Halder, Ekaterina Gribkova +2
The octopus arm is a neuromechanical system that involves a complex interplay between peripheral nervous system (PNS) and arm musculature. This makes the arm capable of carrying ou…
An in vitro living system for flow rectification
Zhi Dou, Liu Hong, Zhengwei Li +7
Small - but finite - fluid inertia can be leveraged to generate steady flows out of liquid vibrations around an immersed interface. In engineering, external high-frequency drivers…
Coordinated Science Laboratory 70th Anniversary Symposium: The Future of Computing
Klara Nahrstedt, Naresh Shanbhag, Vikram Adve +25
In 2021, the Coordinated Science Laboratory CSL, an Interdisciplinary Research Unit at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, hosted the Future of Computing Symposium to cele…
Energy Shaping Control of a Muscular Octopus Arm Moving in Three Dimensions
Heng-Sheng Chang, Udit Halder, Chia-Hsien Shih +3
Flexible octopus arms exhibit an exceptional ability to coordinate large numbers of degrees of freedom and perform complex manipulation tasks. As a consequence, these systems conti…
A Sensory Feedback Control Law for Octopus Arm Movements
Tixian Wang, Udit Halder, Ekaterina Gribkova +3
The main contribution of this paper is a novel sensory feedback control law for an octopus arm. The control law is inspired by, and helps integrate, several observations made by bi…
Soft streaming -- flow rectification via elastic boundaries
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming is an efficient mechanism to exploit inertia at the microscale for flow control. While streaming from rigid features has been thoroughly investigated, when body c…
