Abstract: The robotic shape control of deformable linear objects has garnered increasing interest within the robotics community. Despite recent progress, the majority of shape control approaches can ...

Abstract: Deformable object shape control involves the autonomous manipulation of deformable objects so that they acquire a desired target shape. This constitutes a vast challenge due to the wide ...

If you're staying up all night to watch The Game Awards 2025, follow along with our live coverage. If you want an early night, you can catch up on all the news with our Everything Announced at The ...

Controlling ball flight starts with understanding that the clubface, more than anything else, dictates where the shot begins and how it curves. In this breakdown, we examine how even slight changes in ...

Anthony Turton is retired, but in the past he has received funding from the Water Research Commission, the Swedish Foreign Ministry, Green Cross International and the FAO. Water is often taken for ...

Chinese scientists have reportedly developed a new prototype “morphing” hypersonic vehicle that can fly faster than Mach 5 (6,174 kph). According to reports, this new technology can change shape ...

Shapewear is great for smoothing and providing support under clothing, often boosting confidence in the process. However, it shouldn’t be so restrictive that it feels overly tight or suffocating. The ...

A shapeless liquid form is something we usually take for granted. We expect fluids to spread and assume the shape of the container in which they are held. But nature sometimes defies our intuition. In ...

A significant challenge in materials synthesis is growing metal nanocrystals with controlled shapes and sizes. Metal nanocrystals are often synthesized in the solution phase, where a metal salt is ...
