Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Comprehensive Approach to Severe Lost Circulation Problems in Russia

open access: yes, 2010
In the past, a favored approach may have been used to treat most or all lost circulation incidents. However, improvements in understanding all aspects of lost circulation show that the “favored approach” method can be technically unwise today.
