Multiple Sampling Capsule Robot for Studying Gut Microbiome

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multiple sampling capsule robot (MSCR) is developed for longitudinal gut microbiome analysis. Employing electromagnetic field control, the MSCR can locomote actively, precisely align the selected channel, and collect up to six microbiome samples with minimal cross‐contamination.

A Study on the Effect of Structural Compliance Placing in Soft Contact/Collision Properties of Multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article answers the question “Where is the best place to apply compliance in a multirotor micro aerial vehicle to make it more collision‐resilient?” by analyzing the output data of more than 1200 drone collision tests for four main configurations of micro‐quadcopters each possessing a unique softness layout of physical frame.

An Aerial Robot Achieving Bimodal Flight and Independent Attitude Control through Passive Morphing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a bimodal aerial robot capable of operating in both standard quadcopter and revolving flight modes. With four rotors, it independently controls position and roll‐pitch attitude across five degrees of freedom. The design features passive revolute joints, allowing seamless mid‐air transitions between modes using centrifugal forces ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

PairTilt: Design and Control of an Active Tilt‐Rotor Quadcopter for Improved Efficiency and Agility

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
PairTilt is an actuated tilt‐rotor unmanned aerial vehicle capable of active shape reconfiguration, balancing simplicity, efficiency, and agility. Its H‐shaped frame incorporates pairwise tiltable rotors, which reduce gyroscopic torque and decouple key dynamics, enhancing maneuverability and reducing drag.

Motion Capture and Augmented‐Reality‐Assisted Surface Reconstruction and Robotic Remanufacturing System

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An virtual reality augmented‐reality‐ and motion‐capture‐assisted surface remanufacturing system is presented. Operators can interactively reconstruct the virtual model using the designed motion‐captured pointer directly on the physical workpiece surface. Operators can intuitively and interactively manipulate the system to accomplish tasks ranging from

Computer Vision for Substrate Detection in High‐Throughput Biomaterial Screens Using Bright‐Field Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
It is known that biomaterial properties (e.g., shape, chemistry) direct how the body reacts to implanted materials. However, what features cause specific responses is not well known. High‐throughput screening can identify instructive properties, but manual feature segmentation in large brightfield image datasets limits discovery.
