Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Crease‐Encoded Soft Origami Chambers: A Unified Design‐to‐Fabrication Framework for Low‐Pressure Pneumatic Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Origami turns a single silicone chamber into three different soft fluidic actuators. Crease angles alone decide whether it elongates, bends, or twists, and the fully folded chambers are cast monolithically in one day. Below 15 kPa, they reach 268% axial stretch, 72° bending, and 55° twist—no strain‐limiting layers, no rigid reinforcements, no vacuum ...

Dual‐View Representation Learning for Deployable Humanoid Whole‐Body Control

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Humanoid robots must learn control from limited onboard sensing, although simulation provides richer training‐only states. DVP learning pairs these views of each simulated motion and aligns their latent control features inside the policy‐learning loop. This direct, deployment‐aware supervision accelerates learning while the deployed policy relies only ...

3D Closed‐Loop Navigation of Magnetic Microswimmers Using Vision‐Derived Depth Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A planar magnetic microswimmer is navigated in three dimensions under a standard microscope. Image defocus supplies a real‐time depth cue, and model‐predictive control with A* planning steers the body on surfaces and in free swimming. Axial position is regulated by propulsion alone, without magnetic field gradients or extra cameras.

Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

Freedom dreaming of migrant justice: Critical reflections on counterspaces and institutional violence in the university

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract US universities are built on stolen land and sustained through hierarchies of power that produce what migrant justice scholars name as b/order regimes. As institutions that claim to be sites of learning and inclusion, universities are fraught with contradictions as simultaneously sites of dispossession, exclusion, and control.

Hybrid Inertial–Centrifugal Gas–Liquid Separator: CFD‐Driven Optimization Using Coupled Discrete Phase and Wall‐Film Modeling With Response Surface Methodology

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.
