Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Ant-Plant Relationships in a Re-Created Tallgrass Prairie [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Relationships between the distributions of nesting ants and flora were investigated in a re-created tallgrass prairie located in northeastern Illinois. One-third of 167 randomly selected 1m2 quadrats in the prairie contained ant nests.

Energy Consumption Optimization in Trajectory Planning for Fuel Cell Hybrid Uavs Based On HMPC

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Fabrication of Superinsulating Poly(Urethane‐Isocyanurate) Aerogels Derived from Upcycled Polycarbonate

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Bisphenol‐A polycarbonate is upcycled via a simple one‐pot reaction into an aromatic Mannich polyol, which serves as a precursor for fabricating poly(urethane‐isocyanurate) (PUR‐PIR) aerogels. PUR‐PIR aerogels, prepared with different isocyanate indices, exhibit high porosities, high specific surface areas, ultralow thermal conductivity, and excellent ...
