Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.
