Design, Modeling, and Experimentation of Polar Robot: Assisted Sail and Multimode Motion for Energy Saving

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a polar robot that utilizes assisted sail and multimode motion to achieve energy‐saving. The design, modeling, and experimental methods are introduced. The results show that the energy‐saving effect of the robot using a multimode energy savings control strategy reaches 21.19%, providing technical support for long‐term polar ...

Haptic Perception via the Dynamics of a Flexible Body Inspired by an Ostrich's Neck

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by avian anatomy, this study uses a flexible robotic neck to investigate haptic perception driven by musculoskeletal dynamics. By applying physical reservoir computing, the robot encodes external force interactions into its body dynamics, allowing effective object classification.

Deciphering fire tolerance of trees at the Amazonia–Cerrado transition by trait‐based approach: Implications from species to communities

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how fire impacts trees is essential for predicting the effects of novel fire regimes on plant diversity in the transition between the world's two most diverse biomes, the Cerrado and the Amazonia. Here we addressed knowledge gaps regarding physiological damage and mortality in transitional species within fire‐prone ...
