Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Reinforcement Learning With a Low‐Cost Parallel Linkage Gripper for Static and Dynamic Planar In‐Hand Manipulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Hardware‐learning co‐design combines volar‐plate‐inspired passive‐joint constraints with mechanism‐aware reinforcement learning for a low‐cost parallel‐linkage gripper. The resulting system performs quasi‐static object adjustment and dynamic pinch grasping, demonstrating reliable planar in‐hand manipulation and successful sim‐to‐real transfer. Parallel

Hybrid Granular–Elastomer Jamming With Confinement‐Mediated Stiffening

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A granular–elastomer hybrid jamming medium enables isotropic, repeatable stiffness modulation by exploiting vacuum‐induced confinement of an elastomeric network rather than particle friction. The actuator supports large 3D deformations (bending, folding, and twisting), retains programmed shapes when unjammed, and achieves an ~8× stiffness increase and ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of
