FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

The visual core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold [PDF]

, 2001
In this note we introduce the notion of the visual core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold N, and explore some of its basic properties. We investigate circumstances under which the visual core V(N') of a cover N' of N embeds in N, via the usual covering map.

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Conjugacy in normal subgroups of hyperbolic groups

, 2012
Let N be a finitely generated normal subgroup of a Gromov hyperbolic group G. We establish criteria for N to have solvable conjugacy problem and be conjugacy separable in terms of the corresponding properties of G/N.

A Rigid–Foldable Kirigami‐Inspired Metamorphic Mechanism With Programmable Motion Modes and Self‐Locking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Geometric constraint reconfiguration enables a rigid–foldable kirigami‐inspired mechanism to switch between twisting, directional translation, and self‐locking states. By encoding multifunctionality directly into its architecture, the mechanism achieves multimodal motion and passive locking without reassembly, providing a compact platform for adaptive ...

Giant Magneto‐Optical Effects in Two‐Dimensional Flat‐Band Antiferromagnets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RuOCl2${\rm RuOCl}{_2}$, a two‐dimensional antiferromagnet, hosts energy bands with pronounced directional flatness. This study demonstrates that the flat‐band‐induced optical transitions yield strongly anisotropic absorption and a record‐large magneto‐optical Schafer–Hubert effect, alongside exceptional linear dichroism exceeding 50%.
