Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Designing Wire Mazes for Replicating Natural Echoes to Study Bat Biosonar Function

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A validated framework combining efficient physical modeling (multiple scattering model) and deep learning is presented to guide wire‐maze design for bat biosonar studies. This approach rapidly generates large datasets to test acoustic distinguishability among wire arrangements.

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Environmentally induced dynamics between intraindividual variation and trait means across vegetative, phenological, and floral traits

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Intraindividual variation in reiterated structures (e.g., leaves) represents an important dimension of phenotypic variation that contributes to functional diversity and the dynamics of ecological communities. It can be expressed differently across plant traits, but how environmental drivers affect intraindividual variation in different
