A general kinematic framework for mobile-linkage robotic systems (MLRS)

Abstract Conventional mechanisms (linkages) are typically characterized by the presence of a frame that remains fixed with respect to an inertial reference system. In contrast, mobile robotic systems, including articulated robots, consist of assemblies of rigid bodies that are fr...

Transmission diffuse EUV scattering by nanoscale Lamb waves in thin membranes

We report time-resolved diffuse extreme ultraviolet (EUV) scattering measurements of optically excited acoustic waves in thin Ti/SiN bilayers in transmission geometry. Following femtosecond optical excitation, the EUV diffuse scattering signal yields circular fringe patterns evol...
