A Tale of Tail Loss: Fine‐Scale Landscape Composition Predicts Caudal Autotomy Along an Urban Gradient in Two Congeneric Lizards

Ecology and Evolution
Human‐modified landscapes alter species interactions, yet the spatial scale at which landscape features influence predator–prey interactions remains poorly understood.

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Embodied carbon impacts of residential development siteworks: new assessment framework

Buildings & Cities
Plans to decarbonise residential construction in many countries focus mainly on reducing the operational energy of dwellings and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, rather than the full life-cycle emissions of construction.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.
