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.

Neither Ants nor Hermites [PDF]
Acceleration of renewal of technologies make management more complex and induces organizations to absorb more and more knowledge, in less and less time; of course each member of the organization accomplishes this task of its own but only a ...

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.

The use of ideas of Information Theory for studying "language" and intelligence in ants
In this review we integrate results of long term experimental study on ant "language" and intelligence which were fully based on fundamental ideas of Information Theory, such as the Shannon entropy, the Kolmogorov complexity, and the Shannon's equation ...

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

A study on the potential of ants to act as vectors of foodborne pathogens
Ants (Technomyrmex difficilis and Solenopsis geminata) are insects often found in domestic kitchens of Mauritius. Unfortunately, they harbour disease-causing organisms and can potentially transfer these pathogens to food. This study was carried out to (i)

The Disordered Region of ASXL1 Acts as an Auto‐Regulator Through Condensation
ASXL1's long IDR encodes an electrostatic “basic platform + acidic brake” that autoregulates condensation. Truncation at a clinical hotspot lifts this brake, forming condensates that retarget BRD2, remodel local chromatin accessibility, and impair neutrophil maturation.
