@copilot for any edison queries that were vague, use your API key to get the actual artifacts (JSON I think) that have more details about the publications and authors I think. Fetch any unfetched queries from this pull request. The BO folks from "Authors appearing ≥2× across" are largely out of scope. It needs to be grounded in people who actually publish in the journals mentioned and similar journals. |

Added as new §3d′ "Lander"-style designs / drag-free impact survival in Top 3 to actually reach out to first:
Next tier (4–10): Vytas SunSpiral (NIAC SUPERball PI, formerly NASA Ames; now Stoke Space / RGo Robotics), Andrew Zhang + Brian Cera (UC Berkeley, Agogino lineage — best instrumented public dataset, 10–20 m drops, 235 g peak), Massimo Vespignani (SUPERball v2 design, 2018), Skelton / Sultan (TAMU / VT — class-1 lander theory), Jamshid Bayandor (Virginia Tech CRASH Lab — scaled-up TANDEM lander 2017), Jing Zhang et al. (HIT — Aerospace 2025 class-II spherical tensegrity), Madhumati Anand (biodegradable tensegrity, 75 m drops onto pavement, 2022). Note: this cluster has essentially zero overlap with the crutch-tip / assistive-device pool — only Rimoli + Pajunen are shared with the JMD/SMS pools — so if the egg-drop demo is folded into the manuscript, expect the AE to recruit a space-systems / aerospace-mechanisms reviewer from §3d′ in addition to the §3b panel. |

@copilot send an edison query - what aspects would be best to seek feedback/help about? Consider all PRs in this repo. For example, tech transfer, what some of the real-world challenges are, any immediate "gotchas" that come to mind. Draft just a couple sentences each. I'll probably throw those sentences away and rewrite, but might as well. Is there also some way they could contribute collaboratively that comes to mind? For example, external validation. |

Done in 56f58de. Submitted + fetched Edison Also drafted throwaway 1–2-sentence pitches in new §3d″ "First-contact talking points" in
Edison also returned an 8-item stretch section of mechanisms I hadn't drafted: digital-twin round-robin (NIST AM-Bench style); materials-genome integration of PETG–TPU bond data; citizen-science egg-drop campaign with downloadable STL/3MF kit; prestress-monitoring IoT (smart tensegrity); topology-optimization collab with Panozzo's PolyFEM team; ASTM F42/D20 standards pathway for multi-material FFF interface bond; FTO patent landscape scan for the joint geometries; high-speed-video + accelerometer sharing consortium. Per-contact ask routing in Edison's §(e) table covers all 12 named lander-pool contacts, each anchored to one of their own peer-reviewed papers (e.g. Rimoli → Garanger et al. 2021 Soft tensegrity systems for planetary landing; Mueller → Zha et al. 2024 IEEE/ASME T-Mech; Skelton → Williamson & Skelton 2003 General class of tensegrity structures; Jing Zhang → Zhang et al. 2025 Aerospace; Anand → Anand et al. 2022 arXiv 2212.11625) — use those citations directly in the email body. |

Pull request overview
Adds a reviewer/AE targeting memo and outreach talking points for the JMD manuscript thread (PR #20) and the egg-drop/lander outreach thread (PR #47), grounded in committed Edison LITERATURE_HIGH artifacts and a reproducible Edison submission script.
Changes:
- Add
reviews/target_audience.mdwith JMD reviewer-profile diversity expectations, a named candidate reviewer pool, a COI screen, a lander-style outreach contact list, and draft first-contact talking points. - Commit Edison trajectory artifacts (
.md+.json) for the target-audience and outreach-topicsLITERATURE_HIGHruns. - Add
scripts/edison/submit_outreach_topics.pyto reproduce the outreach-topics Edison task and persist results.

@me-madsen @achris0520 @ctrhjk could one of you work on reaching out to the contacts from the following sections? Noting there's some overlap, so making sure we don't email the same person twice. Here's an example of previously when we've been reaching out for another project, modified to match this project more closely: We can use this for the picture:
Also for the video (a trimmed version of Signal1 from #71 (comment)): tensegrity-drop.mp4 |
I'm on it 🫡 |
|
Thank you! Please make sure to cc me on the emails |
|
@me-madsen thinking about it some more. up to you whether you cc just me or not. Whatever you think is best. When you send the first few emails, could you post back here mentioning who you reached out to? |
I didn't see this until after I sent the first 3, but I will likely adjust my cc list for future emails. For documentation, I just reached out to: Julian J. Rimoli |

Additional emails have been sent to the following, with only @sgbaird ccd: |
