MME Seminar: Soft robotics and architectured materials: A designer's perspective | WSU Insider


Dr. Girish Krishnan, Associate Professor in the Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
While robots and engineering artifacts are becoming increasingly smart, innovations in their structural design have not kept pace. Most robots still consist of myriad bulky rigid parts connected by interfaces or joints leading to non-optimal performance. In contrast, around 90% of nature’s species (invertebrates) are designed seamlessly and use material elasticity to undergo spatial continuum deformation. In this talk, I will demonstrate the translation of this bioinspired design paradigm, namely distributed compliance in two fields: soft robotics and architectured materials. Applying the paradigm of distributed compliance to soft mechanisms leads to a class of soft robotic building blocks that combine fibers, pressurized fluids and stretchable elastomeric skins. However, robots engineered with soft building blocks alone exhibit severa ....

The world's wettest place in North East India is witnessing a decline in rainfall


The world’s wettest place in North East India is witnessing a decline in rainfall
The phenomenon is driven by changes in the Indian Ocean temperature and conversion of forestlands and vegetation cover to croplands in the last two decades.

An analysis of 119 years of rainfall measurements at different rain gauge stations across North East India, has revealed a decreasing trend in summer rainfall since 1973, including in rainy Meghalaya, reputed for hosting the world’s wettest place.
The study has said that the decline in rainfall is driven by changes in the Indian Ocean temperature and conversion of forestlands and vegetation cover to croplands in the last two decades. These long-term rainfall changes in the region are responsible for the observed shift of the world’s wettest place from Cherrapunji to Mawsynram (separated by 15-km) in recent decades. Mawsynram receives an average annual ....

UGC allows top universities to set up campuses abroad


UGC allows top universities to set up campuses abroad
India’s top ranked universities with Institute of Eminence status, such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institute of Science, can now set up branch campuses abroad after India’s higher education regulator the University Grants Commission (UGC) this month amended its regulations to allow them to set up offshore campuses.
Public or private ‘Institutes of Eminence’ would have to submit an application to the Ministry of Education with details of their 10-year strategic vision plan and a five-year implementation plan, including academic plans, faculty recruitment, student admissions plan, research, infrastructure development, financial, administrative and governance plans, with clear annual milestones and identifiable outcomes, according to the UGC, which will also review the applications together with an Empowered Experts Committee. ....
