3D‐Printed Shark‐Inspired Soft–Hard Hybrid Underwater Robot With Buoyancy Control and Onboard Vision

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fully self‐contained shark‐inspired underwater robot is developed using 3D‐printed soft–hard hybrid structures, servo‐driven propulsion, and pump‐based buoyancy control. The platform achieves three‐dimensional locomotion and onboard vision‐based target tracking, offering a reproducible and accessible framework for biomimetic underwater robot research.

The ProFlex Methodology: Agile Manufacturing in Practice [PDF]

, 2014
Today, manufacturing production systems are required to be responsive, re-configurable, adaptable, and flexible. The fulfilment of these requirements is directly related to the method used to design and develop their control applications. The paper presents the result of an investigation study to capture current techniques adopted by logic designers ...

Digital Twins for the Design, Interactive Control, and Deployment of Modular, Fiber‐Reinforced Soft Continuum Arms

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A digital twin framework is presented for modular soft continuum arms built from fiber‐reinforced pneumatic actuators. Cosserat rod models describe individual actuators, while virtual assemblies are formed through serial and parallel networks, preserving actuator‐level architecture and arm deformation.

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

A decade of agile methodologies: Towards explaining agile software development

Journal of Systems and Software, 2012
AbstractEver since the agile manifesto was created in 2001, the research community has devoted a great deal of attention to agile software development. This article examines publications and citations to illustrate how the research on agile has progressed in the 10 years following the articulation of the manifesto.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...
