Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Skew log-concavity of the Boros-Moll sequences
Let { T ( n , k ) } 0 ≤ n < ∞ , 0 ≤ k ≤ n $\{T(n,k)\}_{0\leq n < \infty, 0\leq k \leq n} $ be a triangular array of numbers. We say that T ( n , k ) $T(n,k)$ is skew log-concave if for any fixed n, the sequence { T ( n + k , k ) } 0 ≤ k < ∞ $\{T(n+k,k ...

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,

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Push the Limits: Human‐Like Multimodal Extreme Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Racing
Autonomous racing tests embodied intelligence under extreme control limits of speed, actuation, and decision‐making. Inspired by human multimodality, we present Apex, an embodied agent deployed on a super‐formula racing car at Yas Marina. Integrating physics‐informed perception, multimodal learning, and tasking, Apex cuts lap times by 15% and achieves ...

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

Rotating magnetic fields (RMFs) are widely used for microrobot propulsion and control. We show that RMF generation with permanent magnets is mechanically feasible for many limb and intracranial applications but becomes constrained for thoracic targets.

On the skew spectral moments of graphs [PDF]
Let $G$ be a simple graph, and $G^{sigma}$ be an oriented graph of $G$ with the orientation $sigma$ and skew-adjacency matrix $S(G^{sigma})$. The $k-$th skew spectral moment of $G^{sigma}$, denoted by $T_k(G^{sigma})$, is defined as $sum_ ...

Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators
A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.
