Functions and modules that provide shortcuts for translation, rotation and mirror operations. Also provided are skew and frame_map, which remaps the coordinate axes. The shortcuts can act on geometry, ...

As we talked in the previous lesson, the configuration of the robot answers the question: where is the robot? In order to know where the robot is, we need to know the position and orientation of the ...

Most materials made of inorganic solids are polycrystalline, including metals, ceramics, as well as many colloids and rocks. They consist of aggregates of misoriented grains separated by grain ...

Polarization angle manipulation has been a vital technic in radar applications. This paper proposes and demonstrates a digital polarization programmable metasurface for continuous polarization angle ...

Since the Mueller matrix ellipsometer has been used as a highly accurate tool for thin film measurement, the error analysis and repeatability enhancement of such a ...

Optical trapping is a vital tool in biology, allowing precise optical manipulation of nanoparticles, micro-robots, and cells. Due to the low risk of photodamage and high trap stiffness, fiber-based ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the attitude control problem of a nearly axis-symmetric spacecraft actuated by two torques perpendicular to its symmetry axis. As a result, the spacecraft symmetry axis ...

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures, those lacking mirror symmetry, can be designed to manipulate the polarization of incident light resulting in chiroptical (chiral optical) effects such as circular ...
