Soft-Bubble grippers for robust and perceptive manipulation
Naveen Kuppuswamy, Alex Alspach, Avinash Uttamchandani +3
Manipulation in cluttered environments like homes requires stable grasps, precise placement and robustness against external contact. We present the Soft-Bubble gripper system with…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: prototype design and testing
Maren Cosens, Jérôme Maire, Shelley A. Wright +12
The Pulsed All-sky Near-infrared Optical Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (PANOSETI) is an instrument program that aims to search for fast transient signals (nano-second to…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: optical and structural design concepts
Jérôme Maire, Shelley A. Wright, Maren Cosens +13
We propose a novel instrument design to greatly expand the current optical and near-infrared SETI search parameter space by monitoring the entire observable sky during all observab…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: overall specifications and science program
Shelley A. Wright, Paul Horowitz, Jérôme Maire +13
We present overall specifications and science goals for a new optical and near-infrared (350 - 1650 nm) instrument designed to greatly enlarge the current Search for Extraterrestri…
