Liquid Metal Sloshing for High‐Load Active Self‐Healing System: An Application to Tendon‐Driven Legged Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Liquid metal “sloshing” by the robot's own actuator is proposed to improve the self‐healing performance. The proposed method drastically enhances the healed strength by decomposing the surface oxides and the impurities. The method contributes to the world's first demonstration of active self‐healing behavior performed by a life‐sized legged robot. Self‐

Dynamic Single‐Input Control of Multistate Multitransition Soft Robotic Actuator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A concept for reducing the number of control inputs to one in a system with N degrees of freedom, is presented. Incorporating structural instabilities, cleverly, enables choosing any desired trajectory out of (N!)2 with only one input. The concept is demonstrated experimentally, along with analytical insights and numerical simulations.

Thermally Responsive Architected Actuators with Programmable Shape Morphing and Tunable Stiffness

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tunable‐stiffness architected morphing structure enables programmable shape transformation and load‐bearing functionality through thermal activation. By tessellating rigid particles with shape memory alloy‐based soft connectors, the system achieves simultaneous morphing and stiffness modulation.

Symmetry Breaking Metamaterial Sleeve Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamaterial sleeves are designed to impart to a soft inflatable structure, nonlinear characteristics within the pressure–volume domain. By tuning the unit cells of the metamaterial sleeve, symmetry breaking is achieved during the inflation–deflation cycle.

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...
