A single-step printable platform for ultraviolet (UV) metasurfaces is introduced to overcome both the scarcity of low-loss UV materials and manufacturing limitations high cost low throughput. By dispersing zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles in a UV-curable resin, ZrO2 nanoparticle-embedded-resin (nano-PER) developed as material which has refractive index extinction coefficient from near-UV deep-UV. In nano-PER, resin enables direct pattern transfer increase composite while maintaining...

Abstract Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has attracted attention recently as a promising fabrication method for dielectric metalenses owing to its low cost and high throughput, however, aspect ratio (HAR) nanostructures are required manipulate the full 2π phase of light. Conventional NIL using hard-polydimethylsiloxane (h-PDMS) mold inevitably incurs shear stress on which is inversely proportional surface area parallel direction detachment. Therefore, HAR structures subjected larger stresses,...

Metasurfaces consisting of artificially designed meta-atoms have been popularized recently due to their advantages amplitude and phase light control. However, the electron beam lithography method for metasurface fabrication has high cost low throughput, which results in a limitation metasurfaces. In this study, nanocomposite printing technology is used fabricate high-efficiency metasurfaces with cost. To demonstrate efficiency proposed method, metahologram fabricated using nanocomposite. The...

Soft sensors that can perceive multiaxial forces, such as normal and shear, are of interest for dexterous robotic manipulation monitoring human performance. Typical planar fabrication techniques have substantial design constraints often prohibit the creation functionally compelling complex architectures. Moreover, they require multiple-step operations production. Here, we use an additive manufacturing process based on continuous liquid interface production to create high-resolution...

We present a tactile sensor intended for manipulation by mobile robots, e.g., in the home. The surface consists of an array small, rounded bumps or “nibs,” reliable traction on objects like wet dishes. When nibs contact they deflect, and capacitive sensors measure corresponding local normal shear stresses. A feature is ability to reconfigure dynamically depending which combinations sensing elements it samples. By interrogating different can detect distinguish between linear rotational...

Our aim is to provide effective interaction with virtual objects, despite the lack of co-location and real-world contacts, while taking advantage relatively large skin area ease mounting on forearm. We performed two human participant studies determine effects haptic feedback in normal shear directions during manipulation using devices worn near wrist. In first study, participants significantly better discriminating stiffness values objects when consisted displacements compared displacements....

Imitation learning requires high-quality demonstrations consisting of sequences state-action pairs. For contact-rich dexterous manipulation tasks that require fine-grained dexterity, the actions in these pairs must produce right forces. Current widely-used methods for collecting are difficult to use demonstrating due unintuitive human-to-robot motion retargeting and lack direct haptic feedback. Motivated by this, we propose DexForce, a method manipulation. DexForce leverages contact forces,...

Abstract Background Self-selected speed is an important functional index of walking. A self-pacing controller that reliably matches walking without additional hardware can be useful for measuring self-selected in a treadmill-based laboratory. Methods We adapted previously proposed force-instrumented treadmills and validated its use speeds. first evaluated the controller’s estimation subject position from force-plates by comparing it to those motion capture data. then compared five tests...

When humans socially interact with another agent (e.g., human, pet, or robot) through touch, they do so by applying varying amounts of force different directions, locations, contact areas, and durations. While previous work on touch gesture recognition has focused the spatio-temporal distribution normal forces, we hypothesize that addition shear forces will permit more reliable classification. We present a soft, flexible skin an array tri-axial tactile sensors for arm person robot. use it to...
