Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 739-760, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Day‐Ahead Scheduling for Dynamic Distribution Network Configuration Optimization Considering Reconfiguration Frequency Constraints

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 352-363, March 2026.
As distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration increases, complex power flows lead to challenges such as voltage violations, system congestion, and increase of distribution loss. To effectively address these issues and enhance energy efficiency, an hourly dynamic system configuration optimization method is essential, as traditional annual and ...

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 178-192, March 2026.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected
