Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.

Accelerating Musculoskeletal Robotics Through Parametric Design and 3D‐Printed Flexible Structures
Parametric design and flexible 3D printing create muscle‐, tendon‐, ligament‐, and cushion‐like robotic elements from a single thermoplastic polyurethane material. Tuning lattice patterns adjusts regional mechanical properties and enables coordinated multijoint motions in a life‐sized musculoskeletal leg under external suspension, with partial body ...

A distributed wireless sensing framework enables noninvasive monitoring of plant salinity stress through leaf reflectance measurements acquired with portable optical sensors. The collected data are processed using TinyML‐based neural network models deployed at the edge, enabling accurate, real‐time, and low‐cost classification of salinity levels, while

Environmentally Symbiotic Plant Robot
An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed cycle of seeding, germination, growth, and reseeding, autonomously traveling on soil for 30 days using only environmental resources while distributing seeds
