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.

Laboratory Acoustic Emissions Reveal Stress Rotation From Preparation Processes Toward Fault Slip on Varying Surface Roughness in Granular Materials

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We investigate the influence of fault roughness on physical damage prior to large laboratory rock failure and the evolution of the local stress field surrounding the fault zone as macroscopic shear slip approaches.

Greedy selection of optimal location of sensors for uncertainty reduction in seismic moment tensor inversion [PDF]

open access: yes
We address an optimal sensor placement problem through Bayesian experimental design for seismic full waveform inversion for the recovery of the associated moment tensor.

Automated full moment tensor inversion of coal mining-induced seismicity

open access: yes, 2013
Seismicity induced by coal mining in the Ruhr region, Germany, has been monitored continuously over the last 25 yr. In 2006, a dense temporary network (HAMNET) was deployed to locally monitor seismicity induced by longwall mining close to the town of ...

Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

Extended Moment Tensor Inversion for Fracture Mechanism of Cracks Using Energy of Acoustic Emission Waveforms

open access: yes
The acoustic emission (AE) technology is commonly used for detecting cracks in aircrafts, and the moment tensor inversion is an advanced signal post-processing methodology for quantitatively calculating fracture mechanism.

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo to Characterize Induced Earthquakes: Application to a ML 3.4 Event in the Groningen Gas Field and the Role of Prior

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm is known to be highly efficient when sampling high‐dimensional model spaces due to Hamilton's equations guiding the sampling process.
