Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...

A Multistage Venturi Amplifier for Rapid Inflation of Soft Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents the amplifier inflator for soft robotic systems (AIRS), a compact, lightweight, and effective device for rapidly deploying inflatable structures to high pressure. By integrating a check valve with a Venturi‐based air entrainer, AIRS delivers an initial high‐flow output followed by pressurization, supporting fast inflation and ...

Speed Control of Single Molecules on a Surface
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The speed of a single molecule moving across a silver crystal surface is determined with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Travelling distances Δx and travelling times Δt, which are determined simultaneously with high precision, allow to directly measure time–distance relationships.
