A Multistage Venturi Amplifier for Rapid Inflation of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents the amplifier inflator for soft robotic systems (AIRS), a compact, lightweight, and effective device for rapidly deploying inflatable structures to high pressure. By integrating a check valve with a Venturi‐based air entrainer, AIRS delivers an initial high‐flow output followed by pressurization, supporting fast inflation and ...

Shape Sensing, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance of the Continuum Manipulator in Confined Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An integrated sensing framework combines capacitive sensors, IMU, and laser array sensor. The shape reconstruction is finished by backpropagation neural network. Accurate shape estimation (relative error of 1.04%) is maintained under a 110 g tip load, while a miniaturized VL6180X array enables local environmental reconstruction and reactive obstacle ...

Noncanonical Peloruside A Biosynthesis by an Uncultivated Verrucomicrobiota Symbiont

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Noncanonical biochemistry of the peloruside PKS characterized in this work, comprising double bond generation by a noncanonical tridomain (blue), acetyl‐CoA recycling (orange), and proofreading systems (purple and yellow). The Z‐double bond is installed by TEB1 through O‐acetylation and acetate elimination. The acyl ligase PelB (AL, orange) selectively

Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Income sharing for common pool resources with uncertain productivity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the interconnected issues of externalities in the use of a natural common‐pool resource system and adverse effects of environmental uncertainty on risk‐averse resource users. We set up a simple analytical model and derive conditions such that insurance by means of an income sharing mechanism mitigates externalities and hence ...
