Push the Limits: Human‐Like Multimodal Extreme Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Racing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous racing tests embodied intelligence under extreme control limits of speed, actuation, and decision‐making. Inspired by human multimodality, we present Apex, an embodied agent deployed on a super‐formula racing car at Yas Marina. Integrating physics‐informed perception, multimodal learning, and tasking, Apex cuts lap times by 15% and achieves ...

Study on the Effect of Soil Type and Salinity on Water–Soil Characteristic Curves of Saline Soils Based on the Vapor Balance Technique

Advances in Civil Engineering
The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) describes the relationship between water content and soil suction, which is an important tool for determining the engineering properties of unsaturated soil. By measuring SWCC through vapor equilibrium technique,

Origami‐Inspired Morphing Fuselage for Agile Fixed‐Wing Flight

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Conventional aircraft steer with rigid control surfaces. SoAR instead replaces the fuselage itself with a cable‐driven origami continuum body that bends in 3D and compresses on demand. Whole‐fuselage morphing steers fixed‐wing flight: achieving sharp, near‐zero‐radius turns and rapid braking without ailerons, rudder, or elevator, while the same ...
