Applying micro-patterns to surfaces has been shown to impart useful physical properties such as drag reduction and hydrophobicity. However, current manufacturing techniques cannot produce micro-patterned surfaces at scale due to high-cost machinery and inefficient coverage techniques such as raster-…
Micro-structured surfaces possess useful properties such as friction modification, anti-fouling, and hydrophobicity. However, manufacturing these surfaces in an affordable, scalable, and efficient manner remains challenging. Standard coverage methods for surface patterning require precise placement…
Operating multi-robot teams of diverse agents is an ongoing challenge for emergency deployments, where inter-agent connectivity is rare and environments are unpredictable. Heterogeneous systems must be capable of adapting autonomously while maintaining safety. Here, we develop an algorithm for heter
