Organoids as Building Blocks for Adaptive and Resilient Biohybrid Robots
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biohybrid robots combine engineered living tissues with synthetic materials and have emerged as a promising class of soft robotic systems capable of mimicking biological functions such as biodegradability, energy efficiency and flexible motions. By integrating biological and synthetic components, these systems leverage complementary properties

Consumer attitudes toward GM food with hypothetical functional characteristics [PDF]
Since their introduction in the early 1990s, genetically modified organisms in agriculture tended to emphasize improved yield. Europeans, perceiving unacceptable risk and too little benefit, resoundingly disapproved of GMO use in agro-food processes ...

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.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...
