Reconfigurable Haptic Feedback: Comprehensive Design and Control Framework
Herein, a modular framework is presented for designing and controlling soft robotic haptic devices capable of shape and stiffness modulation. These reconfigurable modules enable adaptable tactile feedback for virtual reality and assistive rehabilitation. Two use cases are demonstrated and it is shown how minimal sensing, combined with machine learning,

DuckyDog: An Erect Amphibious Robot with Variable‐Stiffness Legs and Passive Fins
DuckyDog, a quadruped amphibious robot using erect posture, is proposed with dog‐inspired tendon‐driven compliant legs for walking and paddling, a duck‐inspired body for buoyancy, and passive fins to increase propulsion. It achieves maximum speeds of 0.4 body lengths per second on land and 0.3 on water, demonstrating the ability to navigate in complex ...

Abstract In the U.S., crime and violence are concentrated in cities that have lost industry and population due to economic disinvestment and structurally racist policies. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have called for community‐level approaches that reduce violence in these cities by improving unsafe physical environments, increasing ...
