Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Designing Wire Mazes for Replicating Natural Echoes to Study Bat Biosonar Function

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A validated framework combining efficient physical modeling (multiple scattering model) and deep learning is presented to guide wire‐maze design for bat biosonar studies. This approach rapidly generates large datasets to test acoustic distinguishability among wire arrangements.

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

AI‐Enabled RGB Light‐to‐Frequency Sensor for Nondestructive Salinity Stress Monitoring in Medicinal Plants

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A distributed wireless sensing framework enables noninvasive monitoring of plant salinity stress through leaf reflectance measurements acquired with portable optical sensors. The collected data are processed using TinyML‐based neural network models deployed at the edge, enabling accurate, real‐time, and low‐cost classification of salinity levels, while

Performance Evaluation of Super‐Resolution Techniques for Characterization and Phenotyping of Commodity Crops Using Multispectral Imagery

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study assesses the suitability and performance of single‐image super‐resolution methods when applied directly, and without any fine‐tuning, to multispectral images of maize and sunflower crops. It evaluates not only super‐resolution performance, but also the preservation of spectral integrity and vegetation‐index reliability. Multispectral imagery
