Design and Characterization of a Dual‐Mode Soft Robotic Flapping Propeller With Pneumatic Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

Motion-induced wind forces of a slender prism

, 2017
The motion-induced wind forces of a slender prism were investigated using a forced vibration technique. The prism was driven to oscillate by an actuator in cross-wind direction and the unsteady distributed pressures, under different wind velocities and ...

Differential impacts of wind and waves on albatross flight performance in two ocean basins

Movement Ecology
Background Albatrosses can commute long distances to feed during the breeding season by avoiding energetically costly flapping flight. Energy from both wind and waves can be used to sustain soaring and reduce flapping flight, yet most studies of ...

Addressing the rain effects on the ocean scattering: a theoretical model of the ocean surface backscattering coefficient in presence of both wind and rain

, 2016
Atmospheric rain has a strong impact on spaceborne scatterometer observations at Ku-band and higher frequencies. Several semi-empirical techniques have been developed in the past years to address the rain effects on scatterometer backscattered signal but,

Plasma–Kinetic Coupling and Redox Mechanisms in the Degradation of Acid Red 51 by Atmospheric Corona Discharge

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the degradation of the xanthene dye Acid Red 51 (ARE‐51) using atmospheric‐pressure corona discharge plasma, integrating electrical characterization, optical emission spectroscopy (OES), kinetic modeling, and physicochemical analysis to establish a unified plasma–liquid interaction framework. A degradation efficiency of
