Design and characterization of a compliant-joint robotic jumping leg
Biological systems employ compliant joints to allow robust contact with the surroundings and to increase locomotive efficiency. In this experiment, we designed a three-link robotic leg with a compliant calf tendon that was acutated by a DC motor at the hip and measured the effect of compliance on …

Carbon nanotube thermal interfaces and related applications
… enhance contact conductance while maintaining a compliant joint. The palladium weld is particularly attractive for its mechanical stability at high temperatures. The engagement of CNT TIMs with an opposing substrate was also achieved by inserting a solder foil between the CNT TIM and opposing …
