Inertial motion capture based teleoperation of a mobile robot manipulator with a multigrasp hand

Autonomous mobile robots are still not reliable enough for performing complex tasks such as search and rescue, space or undersea exploration and explosive ordnance disposal. Human intelligence is frequently employed for high-level robot decision making and control. Moreover, for most of the cases low-weight and dexterous end-effectors are required for performing delicate tasks efficiently

Low-Voltage Organic Field Effect Transistors with a 2‑Tridecyl[1]benzothieno[3,2‑<i>b</i>][1]benzothiophene Semiconductor Layer

An asymmetric <i>n</i>-alkyl substitution pattern was realized in 2-tridecyl[1]­benzothieno­[3,2-<i>b</i>]­[1]­benzothiophene (C₁₃-BTBT) in order to improve the charge transport properties in organic thin-film transistors. We obtained large hole mobilities up to 17.2 cm²/(V·s) in low-voltage operating devices. The large mobility is related to densely packed layers of the BTBT π-systems at the channel interface dedicated to the substitution motif and confirmed by X-ray reflectivity measurements. The devices exhibit promising stability in continuous operation for several hours in ambient air

Low-Voltage Self-Assembled Monolayer Field-Effect Transistors on Flexible Substrates

Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFETs) of BTBT functionalized phosphonic acids are fabricated. The molecular design enables device operation with charge carrier mobilities up to 10-2 cm 2 V-1 s-1 and for the first time SAMFETs which operate on rough, flexible PEN substrates even under mechanical substrate bending.
