WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

Origami‐Inspired Morphing Fuselage for Agile Fixed‐Wing Flight
Conventional aircraft steer with rigid control surfaces. SoAR instead replaces the fuselage itself with a cable‐driven origami continuum body that bends in 3D and compresses on demand. Whole‐fuselage morphing steers fixed‐wing flight: achieving sharp, near‐zero‐radius turns and rapid braking without ailerons, rudder, or elevator, while the same ...

Model Predictive Control for Magnetically Actuated Cellbots
Magnetically actuated cellbots, formed by embedding microrobots in living cells, are steered along precise paths using a model predictive controller enhanced with a Gaussian process disturbance estimator. The data‐efficient method calibrates each cellbot individually, cutting modeling error by roughly 60% and enabling accurate navigation through cell ...

This review brings together 20 publications describing 11 robotic system families developed for instrument handling, sterile‐package opening, supply delivery, and operating room logistics. Perception is becoming more capable through deep learning and language‐guided control, but autonomy remains limited, evidence is largely laboratory‐based, and no ...

XeraBorg: Neural Control of Tail‐Flick Escape for Backward Propulsion in Cyborg Crayfish
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.

Integrating Ecology and Economics in Agent‐Based Models to Support Agricultural Policy
Agent‐based models are valuable tools for studying social‐ecological systems in agriculture. This review maps how existing agent‐based models represent the human and natural domains of agriculture, and discusses developments in economic and ecological agent‐based modeling.
