Mechanical Systems01:22

Mechanical Systems

191
Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically...

Inclusive Fitness00:57

Inclusive Fitness

36.0K
Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Three-Dimensional Force System:Problem Solving01:30

Three-Dimensional Force System:Problem Solving

663
A three-dimensional force system refers to a scenario in which three forces act simultaneously in three different directions. This type of problem is commonly encountered in physics and engineering, where it is necessary to calculate the resultant force on the system, which can then be used to predict or analyze the behavior of the object or structure under consideration.
To solve a three-dimensional force system, first resolve each force into its respective scalar components. Do this using...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies01:06

Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies

379
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.
Next,...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction
  • Sociotechnical Systems and Diversity Studies

Background:

  • Robotics is increasingly integrated into critical sectors like agriculture, medicine, and rescue operations, highlighting the need for societal reflection in research.
  • While gender inclusivity has gained attention, achieving equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) across gender, nationality, religion, and politics remains a significant challenge in robotics.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of the soft robotics community's landscape.
  • Identification of interdisciplinary and accessibility factors within soft robotics.
  • Development of concrete proposals and metrics for EDI improvement.

Main Results:

  • Soft robotics, due to its interdisciplinary nature and accessibility, presents a welcoming environment compared to broader robotics.
  • Despite its potential, the soft robotics community still requires further advancements in equality and diversity.
