Energy Consumption Optimization in Trajectory Planning for Fuel Cell Hybrid Uavs Based On HMPC
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.The endurance limitation of multirotor drones is a critical challenge. This study adopts a hybrid power system of fuel cells and lithium‐ion batteries. Using Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II, it integrates trajectory planning with energy management optimization.

Ant Colony Optimization Using Common Social Information and Self-Memory
Complexity, 2021 Ant colony optimization (ACO), which is one of the metaheuristics imitating real ant foraging behavior, is an effective method to find a solution for the traveling salesman problem (TSP).

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Diverse societies are more productive: a lesson from ants [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 The fitness consequences of animal personalities (also known as behavioural syndromes) have recently been studied in several solitary species. However, the adaptive significance of collective personalities in social insects and especially of behavioural variation among group members remains largely unexplored.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Are Tree Species Diversity and Genotypic Diversity Effects on Insect Herbivores Mediated by Ants?
PLoS ONE, 2015 Plant diversity can influence predators and omnivores and such effects may in turn influence herbivores and plants. However, evidence for these ecological feedbacks is rare. We evaluated if the effects of tree species (SD) and genotypic diversity (GD) on

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.
