Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has been proven as a useful and advanced technique in the identification of polymers and proteins. However, MALDI-TOF-MS still has the unavoidable drawback of...
Nowadays, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) has recently been considered as a green ion liquid analogue. In this study, a new compound of DES has been synthesized as an extraction solvent in air assistedemulsification liquid-liquid microextraction method...
Here we present a novel bio-inspired optic flow (OF) sensor and its application to visual guidance and odometry on a low-cost car-like robot called BioCarBot. The minimalistic OF sensor was robust to high-dynamic-range lighting conditions and to var...
Distributed arrays of artificial hair sensors have bio-like sensing capabilities to obtain spatial and temporal surface flow information which is an important aspect of an effective fly-by-feel system. The spatiotemporal surface flow measurement enab...
