AxiomsIn Chuanming Zong’s program to attack Hadwiger’s covering conjecture, which is a longstanding open problem from Convex and Discrete Geometry, it is essential to estimate covering functionals of convex bodies effectively. Recently, He et al. and Yu et al.

DUGDALE-MAUGIS ADHESIVE NORMAL CONTACT OF AXISYMMETRIC POWER-LAW GRADED ELASTIC BODIES
Facta Universitatis. Series: Mechanical Engineering, 2018 A closed-form general analytic solution is presented for the adhesive normal contact of convex axisymmetric power-law graded elastic bodies using a Dugdale-Maugis model for the adhesive stress. The case of spherical contacting bodies is studied in detail.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Minimum convex partitions and maximum empty polytopes
Journal of Computational Geometry, 2014 Let S be a set of n points in Rd. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of conv(S) with empty convex bodies. For every integer d, we show that S admits a Steiner convex partition with at most ⌈(n-1)/d⌉ tiles.

Functional Geominimal Surface Area and Its Related Affine Isoperimetric Inequality
Journal of Function Spaces, 2020 The first variation of the total mass of log-concave functions was studied by Colesanti and Fragalà, which includes the Lp mixed volume of convex bodies. Using Colesanti and Fragalà’s first variation formula, we define the geominimal surface area for log-

Generalized Convex Bodies of Revolution
, 1967 The figures studied in this paper are special convex bodies in Euclidean three-dimensional space which we shall call generalized convex bodies of revolution (GCBR). Such a set is obtained by the following procedure.

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.
