(2024-03-22)Department: Mechanical EngineeringHummingbirds are perhaps the most agile flyers in nature. Studying the underlying physics of hummingbird flight may provide inspiration for developing highly maneuverable micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). In this work, we have ...
-
(2016-01-20)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe flapping wings of flyers in nature such as birds, insects, and bats have recently attracted engineers' interest because of their applications in biomimetic and highly maneuverable micro air vehicles (MAVs). As unique ...

(2022-03-27)Department: Community Research & ActionAlthough community and environmental psychologists have examined stigma against mentally and intellectually disabled people for decades, we rarely extend this analysis to wheelchair users. In addition, we tend to overlook ...
-
(2016-07-26)Department: Mechanical EngineeringConcentric tube robots are needle-diameter robots consisting of multiple precurved, nested, superelastic tubes. They can be made to controllably elongate and bend by grasping the tubes at their bases and applying axial ...
-
(2015-06-15)Department: Learning, Teaching and DiversityThis work contributes to an ongoing conversation about how practice-based teacher education might be designed to support preservice teachers’ professional judgment, particularly in the area of writing instruction. By ...
