Summary: This study proposes a method for designing and evaluating the morphological characteristics and combination schemes of industrial robot modules using Kansei Engineering. The method analyzes user's perceptual demands and establishes a mapping relationship with robot design elements, designing modules for glass substrate transfer robot. The study uses orthogonal design and conjoint analysis to analyze user preferences for different module configurations objectively, finding that the robot's shape, color, and material are key elements influencing perceptual demands.

Summary: This paper demonstrates the use of micromachining of photoetchable glass (PEG) for the fabrication of a millimeter-wave substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) for 5G applications. Instead of conventional metallic through glass via (TGV) array structures, two continuous empty TGV holes with metallized sidewalls were used as waveguide walls. The proposed process provides a simple and low-cost method to fabricate SIW in a glass dielectric substrate. The fabricated SIW showed good performance in terms of insertion loss and return loss in the Ka-band frequency range.

Summary: Eu2+-doped SiO2-SrO-B2O3 glasses exhibit broad luminescence band with 0.4 mol% Eu2+ being the optimum doping concentration. The absorption and emission spectra show redshift with increasing Eu2+ concentration, while concentration quenching occurs due to electric dipole-dipole interaction. The luminescence intensity decreases with increasing temperature and the chromaticity shift is lower than Eu2+-doped commercial phosphors.

Summary: This study provides insights into how distal changes regulate the affinity for substrates and tune the catalytic activity of Fe/Co/Se clusters. The stereoelectronic requirements of Fe/Co6Se8 clusters for substrate affinity are investigated. The impact of distal changes on substrate affinity, electronic properties, and catalytic activity is explored. The study reveals the dynamic interactions between the substrate, active site, and support, and their role in substrate activation.

Summary: Using ultrashort-pulse laser-induced plasma-assisted ablation on soda-lime glass, researchers developed SERS substrates with amorphous nanostructures and a silver layer, resulting in homogeneous SERS activity with consistent surface activity. The relatively modest enhancement factor was attributed to the amorphous features on the glass, which led to fewer hot spots but increased surface homogeneity. The use of soda-lime glass offers a cheaper and scalable alternative for routine SERS testing in various scientific fields.

Summary: Bioactive glass-zirconia core-shell spherical nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using sol-gel and sonochemical methods and coated on Ti6Al4V substrate to enhance the implant-tissue interface. The application of dopamine as a surface treatment agent, cathodic electrophoretic deposition, and polyethyleneimine improved the adhesion between the coating and substrate. The presence of core-shell nanoparticles helped overcome the challenges in simultaneous deposition of zirconia and bioactive glass nanoparticles.

Summary: In this study, the impact of droplets on superhydrophobic solid surfaces vibrating in the vertical direction was investigated using many-body dissipative particle dynamics. The study revealed that one characteristic phenomenon of droplets impacting vibrating substrate is the occurrence of multiple contacts before the final rebound, and the probability of impact phase is affected by the vibrating frequency.

Summary: This paper proposes a skill transmission technique for mobile robots through learning by demonstration, enabling them to autonomously track targets similar to humans. A framework is designed using the Kinect sensor for human activity recognition and a dynamic movement primitive method combined with Gaussian mixture regression for teaching data representation and learning trajectory encoding. The study also investigates model predictive tracking control with recurrent neural networks to achieve accurate position control for trajectory tracking by eliminating uncertain interactions. Experimental tasks using the mobile robot (BIT-6NAZA) are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques in real-world scenarios.
