Artificial Spacetimes for Reactive Control of Resource-Limited Robots
William H. Reinhardt, Marc Z. Miskin
Field-based reactive control provides a minimalist, decentralized route to guiding robots that lack onboard computation. Such schemes are well suited to resource-limited machines l…
Electrokinetic Propulsion for Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots
Lucas C. Hanson, William H. Reinhardt, Scott Shrager +2
Semiconductor microelectronics are emerging as a powerful tool for building smart, autonomous robots too small to see with the naked eye. Yet a number of existing microrobot platfo…
Machine Learning Without a Processor: Emergent Learning in a Nonlinear Electronic Metamaterial
Sam Dillavou, Benjamin D Beyer, Menachem Stern +3
Standard deep learning algorithms require differentiating large nonlinear networks, a process that is slow and power-hungry. Electronic learning metamaterials offer potentially fas…
Emergent Microrobotic Oscillators via Asymmetry-Induced Order
Jing Fan Yang, Thomas A. Berrueta, Allan M. Brooks +10
Spontaneous low-frequency oscillations on the order of several hertz are the drivers of many crucial processes in nature. From bacterial swimming to mammal gaits, the conversion of…
Physical learning beyond the quasistatic limit
Menachem Stern, Sam Dillavou, Marc Z. Miskin +2
Physical networks, such as biological neural networks, can learn desired functions without a central processor, using local learning rules in space and time to learn in a fully dis…
Bidirectional Self-Folding with Atomic Layer Deposition Nanofilms for Microscale Origami
Baris Bircan, Marc Z. Miskin, Robert J. Lang +7
Origami design principles are scale invariant and enable direct miniaturization of origami structures provided the sheets used for folding have equal thickness to length ratios. Re…
Turning Statistical Physics Models Into Materials Design Engines
Marc Z. Miskin, Gurdaman S. Khaira, Juan J. de Pablo +1
Despite the success statistical physics has enjoyed at predicting the properties of materials for given parameters, the inverse problem, identifying which material parameters produ…
Evolving Design Rules for the Inverse Granular Packing Problem
Marc Z. Miskin, Heinrich M. Jaeger
If a collection of identical particles is poured into a container, different shapes will fill to different densities. But what is the shape that fills a container as close as possi…
Self-organization into quantized eigenstates of a classical wave driven particle
Stéphane Perrard, Matthieu Labousse, Marc Miskin +2
A growing number of dynamical situations involve the coupling of particles or singularities with physical waves. In principle these situations are very far from the wave-particle d…
Optimizing directed self-assembled morphology
Jian Qin, Gurdaman S. Khaira, Yongrui Su +4
Directed assembly of block polymers is rapidly becoming a viable strategy for lithographic patterning of nanoscopic features. One of the key attributes of directed assembly is that…
Particle Shape Effects on the Stress Response of Granular Packings
Athanasios G. Athanassiadis, Marc Z. Miskin, Paul Kaplan +7
We present measurements of the stress response of packings formed from a wide range of particle shapes. Besides spheres these include convex shapes such as the Platonic solids, tru…
