Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Hyperbolic geometry in hyperbolically \(k\)-convex regions
This paper is the third part of a trilogy dealing with the concept of \(k\)-convexity in various geometries. The first paper deals with \(k\)- convexity in euclidean geometry and the second one with \(k\)-convexity in spherical geometry. The paper deals with \(k\)-convexity in hyperbolic geometry on the unit disk \(D=\{z:| z |

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,
