Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

XeraBorg: Neural Control of Tail‐Flick Escape for Backward Propulsion in Cyborg Crayfish
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents the first controlled tail‐flick propulsion method for the cyborg Cherax quadricarinatus. Comprehensive experiments establish a foundational framework for using the crayfish's natural escape mechanism as a locomotion strategy, expanding its potential as an underwater and amphibious mobile robot.

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.
