Rapid change of friction causes tactile ultrasound illusion

Rapid change of friction causes tactile ultrasound illusion

Michaël Wiertlewski, Assistant Professor at the Cognitive Robotics Department, and his colleagues have created a glass plate that can quickly change its friction. It does this with an actuator that releases waves of ultrasound to vibrate the plate. Their research is published in the ‘Royal Society Interface journal’.

Visualising internal stresses in solid polymers using colour-changing Spiropyrans

Visualising internal stresses in solid polymers using colour-changing Spiropyrans

Spiropyrans are chemicals that change colour when you shine light on them – a useful property in many areas of medicine and technology. Now Georgy Filonenko and his colleague, Richard Janissen at the Faculty of Applied Science have discovered a new use for these so-called photochromic molecules - visualising stresses in solid polymers. Their research is published in the ‘Journal of the American Chemical Society.’

Delftse handprothesen naar oorlogsslachtoffers in Oekraïne

Delftse handprothesen naar oorlogsslachtoffers in Oekraïne

De vraag naar handprothesen in Oekraïne is sinds de oorlog sterk toegenomen. Delftse onderzoeker Gerwin Smit ontwierp een 3D-geprinte handprothese die betaalbaar en eenvoudig te produceren is voor landen waar te weinig budget voorhanden is. In India wordt deze handprothese reeds gebruikt. Het Indiase technologiebedrijf Vispala doneerde Smit’s 3D-geprinte handprothesen aan oorlogsslachtoffers in Oekraïne. Met behulp van een donatie van het Amerikaanse IT-bedrijf Cisco konden 350 handprothesen in Kiev worden overhandigd.

Joost de Winter benoemd tot hoogleraar Cognitive Human-Robot Interaction

Joost de Winter benoemd tot hoogleraar Cognitive Human-Robot Interaction

Het onderzoek van De Winter richt zich op de contactloze interactie tussen robots en mensen. De robot van de toekomst leest en begrijpt de intenties en instructies van mensen in de omgeving door middel van eye-tracking en andere sensoren. Op zijn beurt zal de robot zijn werking aanpassen en intenties communiceren met nabije mensen en andere robots. De visie is om bij te dragen aan een toekomst waarin mensen en robots cognitieve processen delen en zich aan elkaar aanpassen.

Vacuuming-up rare metals from the deep sea floor

Vacuuming-up rare metals from the deep sea floor

At the bottom of the ocean lie lumps of valuable metals such as copper, manganese, nickel and cobalt - materials crucial to accelerating the energy transition. A collaboration between five European countries called ‘Blue Harvesting,’ has designed and now tested a new collector that can gather these nodules from the deep sea bottom with minimal disturbance to the natural environment.

Why do older adults stand-up differently to young adults?

Why do older adults stand-up differently to young adults?

As we age, we start to change the way we move. But why do older adults move differently to young adults? How much change can we tolerate before assist is needed? And how does adaptation relate to falls? Eline van der Kruk and a team of researchers of Imperial College in London explore these questions in a daily life activity. Their findings were published in the Nature Portfolio NPJ Aging.

TU Delft opent wereldwijd unieke windtunnel

TU Delft opent wereldwijd unieke windtunnel

Windmolens worden steeds groter en de windsnelheid is nooit gelijk op ieder stukje rotor – het ronddraaiende deel van een windturbine. Het is daarom belangrijk om experimenten te verrichten met niet-uniforme windvelden: velden waarin de windsnelheid niet gelijk is op iedere plek. Met de opening van het Wind AI Lab van de TU Delft, een wereldwijd unieke windtunnel, wordt dit mogelijk.
