Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Unraveling authoritarian reform decision‐making: A metacognitive–subcognitive model
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Recent research indicates that state reforms in East and Southeast Asia have been predominantly top‐down and authoritarian‐led. However, this significant observation implicitly relies on important assumptions about authoritarian decision‐making behavior and psychology that remains understudied.

Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 501-527, January 2027.Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...

On the Design of Model Predictive Setpoint Controllers for Nonholonomic Multibody Systems
Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Systems subject to constraints that are not integrable to position‐level constraints pose significant challenges for setpoint control. In particular, conventional linearization techniques may fail to yield controllable approximations, since certain directions of motion are only accessible through higher‐order interactions of the control inputs.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2476-2486, September 2026.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...
