New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…Starting from the analysis of the human lower limbs, we figured out which features of the human legs are fundamental for a correct walking motion, and can be adopted in the mechanical design of a humanoid robot. We focus here on the knee, designed as a compliant human-like knee instead of a classical pin-joint, and on the foot, characterised by the mobility and lightness of the human foot. …”

Synaptic transistor implementing potentiation or depression via field distribution modulation of dual dielectric layers by single-polarity pulsed voltage stimuli by Jieun Kim, Jung Wook Lim, Chohyeon Park, Chaerin Yu, Jaehee Lee

“…Understanding and simulating the synaptic plasticity mechanisms of the human brain are crucial for advancing neuromorphic computers for artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid applications. This study designs, fabricates, and characterizes a dual-gate dielectric synaptic device that utilizes interfacial charge traps to mimic long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which are essential for learning and memory. …”
