Sympathetic signals beneath the surface: fresh insights from skin and muscle
Frontiers in NeuroscienceThe sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, known for its governance of the “fight or flight” response, has attracted newfound interest due to its role in maintaining bodily homeostasis in various tissue types.

Mitigations to Reduce the Law of Unintended Consequences for Autonomy and Other Technological Advances [PDF]
The United Nations states that Earths population is expected to reach just under 10 billion people (9.7) by the year 2050. To meet the demands of 10 billion people, governments, multinational corporations and global leaders are relying on autonomy and ...

Stress potentiates decision biases: A stress induced deliberation-to-intuition (SIDI) model
Neurobiology of Stress, 2016 Humans often make decisions in stressful situations, for example when the stakes are high and the potential consequences severe, or when the clock is ticking and the task demand is overwhelming.

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Fight or flight? responses of rodents to predator cues: a review
Journal of Current Opinion in Crop ScienceRodents are common prey for a wide range of predators, including reptiles, birds, and mammals. Some of the predators (e.g., owls) depend solely on rodents for food, reducing their population significantly. Rodents respond to predators by changing behaviours to protect themselves against the enemies.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.
