Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Seed coat mucilage research in Arabidopsis thaliana
, 2016 In Arabidopsis thaliana, seed coat mucilage is synthesized and secreted by seed coat epidermal (SCE) cells. Mucilage is composed of various types of carbohydrate polymers and regarded as an excellent model for studying cell wall polysaccharides. Although

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

core
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.
