Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Vertical Vibration Reduction of Maglev Vehicles Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This work presents a novel nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy for high‐speed Maglev vehicles that explicitly incorporates mechanical suspension dynamics into the control model. Unlike conventional approaches, which often neglect the interaction between levitation magnet and car body motion, the proposed method enables ...
