Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

A Control Strategy With Hybrid Compressor Modeling for Electric Vehicle CO2 Heat Pump Systems
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.A hybrid PSO‐BP compressor sub‐model is developed and embedded in a MATLAB/Simscape physical model of a transcritical CO2 heat pump system for electric vehicles. Based on this high‐fidelity platform, a phased variable‐PTC cooperative control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Rectal temperature (RT) is the gold standard for assessing body temperature in horses, but handling and welfare concerns limit its use. Thermography of the lacrimal caruncula (LC) has been proposed as a noncontact alternative, although its accuracy may be influenced by device characteristics and measurement distance.
