Monolithic Desktop Digital Fabrication of Autonomous Walking Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A soft, monolithic, air‐powered walking robot is designed for autonomous operation. Fabricated in a single step using a desktop (FFF) fused filament fabrication 3D printer, the robot requires no manual postassembly and becomes immediately operational with a constant‐pressure air supply.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

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.

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 ...
