Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

The space pump transports lunar regolith under vacuum condition. A fully 3D‐printed biomimetic peristaltic pump demonstrates reliable transport of liquids and solids using pneumatic ring actuators and flexible fused filament fabrication. The system operates under atmospheric and vacuum conditions, achieves high flow rates, and enables self‐priming ...
