Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
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 ...

Insect herbivory on native and exotic aquatic plants: phosphorus and nitrogen drive insect growth and nutrient release

open access: yes, 2016
Eutrophication and globalisation facilitate the dominance of exotic plants in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Aquatic omnivores can provide biotic resistance to plant invasions, but little is known about whether obligate aquatic herbivores can do the same.

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Recent studies on applications of aquatic weed plants in phytoremediation of wastewater: A review article

open access: yes, 2020
Clean water is an inevitable necessity in human life apart from food and shelter. Surface and underground water are the major sources of clean water. However, with the rapid growth in population and increasing industrial development in Malaysia, many ...

Investigating effects of the excessive growth of aquatic plants on water quality in Anzali Lagoon, south-western Caspian Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this study, excessive growth in submerged aquatic plants such as Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) and Pondweed (Potamogeton spp.), floating-leaved species such as Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and free-floating species such as Water Fern (Azolla ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Distribution and abundance of high aquatic plants in the Gorganroud River, the Caspian Sea basin, Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The distribution and abundance of high aquatic plants in the Gorganroud River was examined at five stations in four seasons (20 samples) over one year period during 2009-2010.

Variations in the stable-isotope composition of aquatic plants and their implications for food web analysis

open access: yes, 1994
The use of stable isotopes to identify the structure of aquatic food webs is predicted upon there being significant and consistent differences in the isotopic composition of the various classes of primary producers.

LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of
