Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Kin recognition via cuticular hydrocarbons shapes cockroach social life

, 2008
Genetic relatedness plays a key role in the organization and the functioning of societies. A large diversity of species has developed kin recognition abilities, allowing individuals to discriminate conspecifics in relation to relatedness.

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.

The effect of cooperator recognition on competition among clones in spatially structured microbial communities.

PLoS ONE
In spatially structured microbial communities, clonal growth of stationary cells passively generates clusters of related individuals. This can lead to stable cooperation without the need for recognition mechanisms.

Advances in Plant Species Recognition Mediated by Root Exudates: A Review

Plants
Root exudates are critical signaling molecules in belowground plant–plant interactions, regulating physiological and ecological responses in adjacent plants through kinship recognition and self-/non-self-discrimination systems. This review systematically

Visual kin recognition and family resemblance in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

, 2004
The male-offspring biased visual kin recognition in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) reported by L. A. Parr and F. B. M. de Waal (1999) was replicated with human (Homo sapiens) participants and a principal components analysis (PCA) of pixel maps of the ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.
