OpenPRC: A Unified Open-Source Framework for Physics-to-Task Evaluation in Physical Reservoir Computing
Yogesh Phalak, Wen Sin Lor, Apoorva Khairnar +3
Physical Reservoir Computing (PRC) leverages the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics of physical substrates, mechanical, optical, spintronic, and beyond, as fixed computational reservoirs…
Truncated Plethystic Exponentials Preserve Power Sum Constraints
Yogesh Phalak
Given an arbitrary sequence , we show that the degree- truncation of the formal exponential $\exp\bigl(-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{α_k}{k}…
FlexGuard: A Design Space for On-Body Feedback for Safety Scaffolding in Strength Training
Panayu Keelawat, Darshan Nere, Jyotshna Bali +7
Strength training carries inherent safety risks when exercises are performed without supervision. While haptics research has advanced, there remains a gap in how to integrate on-bo…
Spider web-inspired sensing and computation with fiber network physical reservoirs
Apoorva Khairnar, Yogesh Phalak, Jun Wang +4
Physical reservoir computing leverages the intrinsic dynamics of mechanical systems to perform computation through their natural responses to input signals. Here, we study a compli…
Hyper Yoshimura: How a slight tweak on a classical folding pattern unleashes meta-stability for deployable robots
Ziyang Zhou, Yogesh Phalak, Vishrut Deshpande +3
Deployable structures inspired by origami have provided lightweight, compact, and reconfigurable solutions for various robotic and architectural applications. However, creating an…
Optimal Snake Locomotion on Flat Surfaces: An Analytical Framework
Yogesh Phalak, Hodjat Pendar
In this theoretical study, we present an analytical framework to investigate the slithering motion of snakes on flat surfaces. While previous studies have predominantly relied on n…
