A self-produced tactile stimulus is perceived as less ticklish than the same stimulus generated externally. We used fMRI to examine neural responses when subjects experienced a tactile stimulus that was either self-produced or externally produced. More activity was found in somatosensory cortex when th...
it remained unclear whether perception of self-motion necessitated experience with locomotion (cf.Butterworth and Hicks, 1977). More recent research confirms that self-produced locomotor experiences are unnecessary for perception of self-motion.Butterworth and Hicks (1977)reported that 11-month-old infan...
Only a screw-shaped mold is needed to mold the soft spring precursor and then SWFAs can be produced simply through the bioinspired stretching treatment. The raw materials (liquid crystal monomers and photothermal dopants) for SWFA are abundant and commercially available chemicals. The entire ...
Moreover, the self-oscillating actuator achieved continuous locomotion in water, that is, swimming [22,44,64]. Figs. 13d and e illustrate that He et al. regarded the AuNPs-PNIPAm strip and sheet as paddle and float, respectively, and achieved swimming motions [44]. Under laser irradiation,...
Increasing the size of the wheels and the distance between the base of the robot and the surface can enable locomotion over more uneven surfaces like carpets. Third, while speakers can be at different heights, our system only achieves 2D localization instead of 3D mainly because all our ...
Locomotion at the microscale is an intriguing non-equilibrium phenomenon that has recently attracted a great deal of attention in soft matter physics1–3 and applied science4,5. In the natural realm, microorganisms, such as bacteria and algal cells, are capable to propel themselves through viscous...
produced by directional electrospinning, which quickly swells and shrinks in lengthwise direction in response to the change of humidity. The ratchets based on asymmetric friction coefficients rectify oscillatory bending motion in a directional locomotion. We mathematically analyzed the mechanical response of ...
1. A self-steering vehicle which is configured to perform autonomous locomotion on a surface, comprising: a drive mechanism for locomotion; and a navigation mechanism, wherein the navigation mechanism is configured to determine positions along a closed path enclosing a working area of the surface,...
