High-Speed and Enhanced Motion Control for a Wheeled-Legged Humanoid Robot Using a Two-Wheeled Inverted Pendulum With Roll Joint

Wheeled-legged humanoid robots combine the mobility of wheels with the versatility of legs, offering significant advantages for locomotion.This paper proposes a hierarchical control framework for such robots, using a two-wheeled inverted pendulum with a roll joint (TWIP-R) as a template model.The framework integrates a motion planner and a whole-bo

Ruthenium and iron complexes with benzotriazole and benzimidazole derivatives as simple models for proton-coupled electron transfer systems

Iron and ruthenium complexes of the type Trivet [M-LH]n (where M = RuII,III(NH3)5(2+,3+), RuII,III(edta)2-,- [edta = ethylenedinitrilotetraacetate], or FeII,III(CN)5(3-,2-) and LH = benzotriazole or benzimidazole) were prepared and characterized in aqueous solutions by means of electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods.Special emphasis was
