Bioinspired Design, Fabrication, and Wing Morphing of 3D‐Printed Magnetic Butterflies

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the remarkable flight of monarch butterflies, lightweight, 3D‐printed magnetic butterflies are fabricated that mimic natural wing morphing without embedded electronics. By varying size, vein patterns, and laser energy in powder bed fusion printing, how these factors enhance deformation efficiency is shown.

An Eyeball‐Movement‐Inspired Multi‐DOF Miniature Piezoelectric Actuator with Strong Load‐Driving Capability

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the eye movements of humans, a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (multi‐DOF) miniature piezoelectric actuator with a square‐circular ring structure is proposed. The actuator demonstrates a well‐balanced performance in miniaturization, operational efficiency, actuation precision, and load‐driving capability.

Evolutionary Codesign and Fabrication of Tensegrity Joints with Integrated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tensegrity joint with pneumatic artificial muscles integrated directly into its tensile network. Inspired by tensegrity spine structures, the joint's topology is developed and further optimized through an evolutionary algorithm, taking into account fabrication constraints and target applications.

Hub and Spokes in Intellectual Disability Mental Health Support

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The distribution of specialist health services is usually uneven by location due to limited resources, which is a problem for people with complex needs. In this context, how can a hub and spoke model offer appropriate services for people with intellectual disability and mental health needs?
