Benchmarking Data‐Driven Control of Octopus‐Inspired Soft Arms in Underwater Environment
Underwater soft robots present safe, compliant interaction, yet reproducible control remains scarce. This work presents an open benchmark for octopus‐inspired arms: a smooth, velocity‐diverse data‐collection scheme produces a compact dataset to train a vanilla policy.

Hydrogen‐Bonding Order Associated With Radical Delocalization in Layered Organic Cathode Materials
“TAQ” and TAPT share the same pyrazine‐based molecular structure but differ in degree of crystallinity. Combined x‐ray scattering, solid‐state NMR, MicroED, and EPR reveal that “TAQ”'s higher crystallinity and ordered hydrogen‐bonding network are associated with enhanced radical delocalization and conductivity, highlighting structural order as a design

Accelerating Musculoskeletal Robotics Through Parametric Design and 3D‐Printed Flexible Structures
Parametric design and flexible 3D printing create muscle‐, tendon‐, ligament‐, and cushion‐like robotic elements from a single thermoplastic polyurethane material. Tuning lattice patterns adjusts regional mechanical properties and enables coordinated multijoint motions in a life‐sized musculoskeletal leg under external suspension, with partial body ...
