Electronic‐Free Particle Robots Communicate through Architected Tentacles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a new class of particle robots that communicate without any electronic components. Their communication protocols are encoded in the geometry of their tentacles are and realized solely through physical contact. Building on these simple communication schemes, electronic‐free particle robots can achieve a range of collective ...

Symmetry Breaking Metamaterial Sleeve Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Evolutionary Codesign and Fabrication of Tensegrity Joints with Integrated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tensegrity joint with pneumatic artificial muscles integrated directly into its tensile network. Inspired by tensegrity spine structures, the joint's topology is developed and further optimized through an evolutionary algorithm, taking into account fabrication constraints and target applications.

Wearable Pneumatic Soft Physiotherapy Device for Shoulder and Neck Acupoint Massage

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A finger‐inspired wearable pneumatic soft physiotherapy device integrates embedded miniature pneumatic systems, flexible bionic thumbs and forefingers capable of mimicking the motions of human fingers such as bending and straightening. It replicates traditional kneading and pointing massage techniques for acupoint stimulation, providing portable ...

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

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...
