Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Performance Evaluation of Super‐Resolution Techniques for Characterization and Phenotyping of Commodity Crops Using Multispectral Imagery

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study assesses the suitability and performance of single‐image super‐resolution methods when applied directly, and without any fine‐tuning, to multispectral images of maize and sunflower crops. It evaluates not only super‐resolution performance, but also the preservation of spectral integrity and vegetation‐index reliability. Multispectral imagery

Multimodal Mixed Reality for In‐Field Visualization of RGB‐Based Vegetation Indices

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Evaluating crop physiological health in field environments remains constrained by offline data processing or static 2D displays, limiting real‐time spatial interpretation. This paper presents a novel mixed reality framework that calculates, normalizes, and visualizes 20 RGB‐based vegetation indices directly in agricultural fields using consumer‐grade ...
