In Situ Atmospheric Plasma Treatment Enables First‐Layer Adhesion of PEEK on Borosilicate Glass for FDM‐Printed Non‐Assembly Mechanisms

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
A printhead‐mounted plasma nozzle activates the PEEK melt and the borosilicate print‐bed at the instant of contact. Only this simultaneous in‐situ activation of both interfaces yields reliable first‐layer adhesion (0.22 MPa). ABSTRACT Fused deposition modeling of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) requires a high‐temperature build plate, yet PEEK does not ...

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

A Design Specifications Template for Wearable Haptic Interfaces: A Case Study for Robotic Gripper Applications

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wearable haptic interfaces are increasingly important for enhancing human robot collaboration, particularly in decision critical tasks that require intuitive and reliable interaction. Despite advances in wearable systems, existing designs often lack a structured framework that systematically integrates sensing, actuation, control, and user ...

Advances in 4D Representation: Geometry, Motion, and Interaction

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We survey 4D representation through three key pillars — geometry, motion, and interaction — offering a selective, representation‐centric perspective to guide researchers in choosing and customizing the right 4D representation for their tasks. Abstract We present a survey on 4D generation and reconstruction, a fast‐evolving subfield of computer graphics

A Hybrid Compliant–Tendon Laparoscopic Instrument for Distal Articulation and Grasping: Design and Experimental Validation

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Conventional laparoscopic instruments provide limited dexterity in confined anatomical environments, whereas existing articulated designs rely on complex rigid joints or motorised actuation, increasing mechanical complexity and limiting miniaturisation.

Generalized Task‐Driven Design of Soft Robots via Reduced‐Order Finite Element Method‐Based Surrogate Modeling

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

Ploidy‐Level, Spore Size, and Morphological Variation of Plagiogyria adnata (Plagiogyriaceae) Along an Elevational Cline on Yakushima Island, Japan

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Yakushima Island is a major biodiversity hotspot where complex environmental gradients and high endemism provide an ideal setting for studying plant evolution. In this study, we investigated the relationships among ploidy variation, morphology, and environmental factors in populations of Plagiogyria adnata, including the variety P.

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1332-1362, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a
