A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Adoption of emerging ICTs: The role of actors in a social network
Cogent Business & Management, 2016 This paper uses actor network theory (ANT) to provide further insight into ICT adoption framework by showing how the diverse actors in small service(s) businesses guarantee continuous adoption of emerging ICT amidst many influences.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.This article introduces a computer vision‐assisted control strategy for light‐driven liquid crystal elastomer actuators. Through negative feedback regulation, the liquid crystal elastomer actuator exhibits accurate and stable bending deformation in complex environments.

From Swarm to Individual: Emergent Individuality in Light‐Mediated Robot Collectives
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Can individuality emerge from a swarm? Using nominally homogeneous phototactic robots, we show that collective light conditions reorganize robot‐level behavioral profiles. Global illumination amplifies persistent differences in state occupancy, while robot‐mounted local light cues reduce fixed differentiation and favor transient high‐switching profiles.

The role of dopamine in foraging decisions in social insects
Frontiers in Insect ScienceAnimals often need to make decisions about whether to confront risks, and climate change is making these decisions even more critical by increasing environmental stress.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Polarised moonlight guides nocturnal bull ants home
eLifeFor the first time in any animal, we show that nocturnal bull ants use the exceedingly dim polarisation pattern produced by the moon for overnight navigation. The sun or moon can provide directional information via their position; however, they can often
