Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

BeeRootBot: A Bioinspired Robotic Probe Exhibiting Apical Growth through In Situ Soil Binding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel method for consolidating subterranean exploration pathways in plant‐inspired robots by binding in‐situ soil with beeswax, a biobased material. This simultaneous advancement and wall‐lining process reduces penetration resistance, enhances exploration efficiency, enables communication and resource sharing, and promotes ...

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Contrasting effects of experimental warming in the initiation year and the flowering year on flower phenology of boreal understory species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐latitude plants initiate flower primordia at least 1 year before flowering. While impacts of rising temperatures on phenology in the flowering year are well studied, the effects of warmer temperatures in the initiation year (IY; the year before flowering) are virtually unknown.
