Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces a fully 3D‐printed, electronics‐free sensory system for a six‐legged soft robot, enabling adaptive responses such as obstacle detection and directional changes using pneumatic logic gates. The design demonstrates efficient, robust operation through rapid sensor feedback and autonomous functionality, highlighting new ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding how plant populations adapt to water limitation through stomatal traits is key to predicting drought responses. The dominant C4 grass Andropogon gerardi, distributed across sharp climate gradients in North America, offers an excellent focal species to study stomatal architecture (size and density).
