Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Construction of pathogenic Sec16a mutation mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Yaqiang Hu et al. engineered a pathogenic Sec16a mutant mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. They observed that the Sec16a mutant mice displayed diminished learning and memory capabilities, along with a limb‐clasping phenotype upon tail suspension.

She Shall Be Saved in Childbearing: Submission, Contemplation of Conception, and Annunciation Imagery in the Books of Hours of Two Late Medieval Noblewomen

, 2012
The role of the Book of Hours in female lay devotional life during the late Middle Ages has been investigated and analyzed by many scholars and art historians over the course of the past century. The general consensus has been that semi-literate medieval

Numerical Optimization of a Hybrid Cooling System for Lithium‐Ion Battery Packs: PCM‐Assisted and Liquid Cooling Integration

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a hybrid cooling system design that constructs a phase change material (PCM) filled layer between a liquid cooling jacket and cylindrical battery cells, combining the advantages of efficient liquid cooling and passive temperature control from PCM. The system performance was optimized through numerical simulation.

Heat Transfer Enhancement Characteristics of Pin‐Fin Liquid Cooling Plate for Pouch Lithium‐Ion Battery

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Addressing issues such as low heat transfer intensity, high system power consumption, and poor temperature uniformity in liquid cooling plates for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs), a pin‐fin liquid cooling plate was designed to enhance comprehensive heat transfer performance.
