Continuum robots can produce dexterous movements and safe interactions due to their inherent compliance, but the lack of stiffness has restricted their deployment in real-world environments. To address this problem, we have studied a high-payload robotic manipulator that bends and extends in 2d space. In this article, we propose the mechanical design for moving our manipulator in 3d space. We use a 3d printer for the prototype production and share its technical strategies for sturdiness and strong fastening.

The increasing demands for high-quality and high-aspect-ratio Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) in three-dimensional integrated circuits (3d-IC) have made Si process technologies a significant challenge. Long-throw ionized Physical Vapor deposition (iPVd) is widely used for barrier/seed layer deposition prior to Cu filling by electroplating for TSV. However, a micro-scale shadowing effect in deep Si holes with high aspect ratios results in failed filling. Bosch etching process can form the high-aspect-ratio deep Si holes but it leaves nuisance scallop features that further increase another submicron-scale shadowing effect. This study aims to explore the impact of super long-throw iPVd with low-frequency RF substrate bias to form high-aspect-ratio TSVs and compares the Cu coverages with a standard magnetron sputtering of non-ionized PVd for 3d-IC rapid prototyping.

The development of smart wearables, involving the sensor integration into textiles, has emerged in several applications, such as heart rate monitoring in healthcare contexts, smart insoles for gait analysis, or gesture recognition for virtual reality interfaces. A common challenge in this field is the incorporation of off-the-shelf sensors, which are often nonelastic, therefore, constrain the design, reduce sensitivity, and lead to increased costs. In this work, we present an additively manufactured ferroelectret sensor integrated into a textile with detachable electronics on an elastic strap. The sensor comprises a 3d printed layer of soft polylactic acid, creating a seamlessly fused, mechanically resilient compound. Its long-term charge stability results in the surface potential settling at 300V after 15 days and a piezoelectric coefficient of up to 201 pC/N for mechanical loads of 1 N, similar to state-of-the-art ferroelectrets. We demonstrate the sensor integration in the application of hand gesture recognition by deploying it into a sport bandage and reliably distinguish between three gestures, while the soft sensor proves suitable as an unobtrusive measurement device. As a result, this lowcost, biocompatible, and highly flexible sensor qualifies for the integration in various further applications, such as in medical and sports devices.

MEMS loudspeakers are becoming more and more interesting for a wide variety of applications. Their complete characterization is vital for any practical application. This characterization must take into consideration the interaction with package and should use packaging solution commonly pursued in high volume manufacturing. A packaging approach based on organic substrate combined with 3d printing is presented. The influence of different die attach materials on the performances of loudspeaker is highlighted.

We present a robust multi-camera gymnast tracking, which has been applied at international gymnastics championships for gymnastics judging. despite considerable progress in multi-camera tracking algorithms, tracking gymnasts presents unique challenges: 1) due to space restrictions, only a limited number of cameras can be installed in the gymnastics stadium;and 2) due to variations in lighting, background, uniforms, and occlusions, multi-camera gymnast detection may fail in certain views and only provide validdetections from two opposing views. These factors complicate the accurate determination of a gymnast's 3d trajectory using conventional multi-camera triangulation. To alleviate this issue, we incorporate gymnastics domain knowledge into our tracking solution. Given that a gymnast's 3d center typically lies within a predefined vertical plane during much of their performance, we can apply a ray-plane intersection to generate coplanar 3d trajectory candidates for opposing-view detections. More specifically, we propose a novel cascadeddata association (dA) paradigm that employs triangulation to generate 3d trajectory candidates when cross-view detections are sufficient, and resort to the ray-plane intersection when they are insufficient. Consequently, coplanar candidates are used to compensate for uncertain trajectories, thereby minimizing tracking failures. The robustness of our method is validated through extensive experimentation, demonstrating its superiority over existing methods in challenging scenarios. Furthermore, our gymnastics judging system, equipped with this tracking method, has been successfully applied to recent Gymnastics World Championships, earning significant recognition from the international Gymnastics Federation.

Perception of human beings is one of the basic capabilities of service robots and is the prerequisite for interaction between robots and humans. Although enabling hardware and software technologies have made great strides, there are not many open-source solutions that organically integrate the two. To address this shortfall, this paper introduces an open-source scheme of hardware and software integration for robotic embodied human perception. The embodied entity includes a robot chassis, a computing unit based on ARM architecture, a 3d lidar, a 2d lidar and four RGB-d cameras for robot exterior perception, a display panel for human-robot interaction, a set of LEd lights to show the robot's status and a sonar strip for low-level obstacle avoidance. The perception software is fully based on the Robot Operating system (ROS) which allows high modularity, fully deployed to the embodied entity and running at a rate of 30 Hz. The entire integration solution is very portable and publicly available at https://***/ Nedzhaken/human_aware_navigation.

Self-assembly process is a promising solution to improve throughput of die-to-Wafer direct hybrid bonding process while maintaining fine alignment. This paper presents our latest developments on self-assembly process. An electrical test vehicle has been fabricated for self-assembly with daisychains and Kelvin structures designed with 6 mu m pitch and hybrid bonding paddimensions of 3 mu m. Characterizations of alignment performance, bonding quality and electrical results demonstrated the proof-of-concept of self-assembly process integration with functional hybrid bonding surfaces.
