Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Passive acoustic monitoring of cetaceans in the Norwegian Skagerrak

Marine ecosystems have been under pressure for decades as a result of intensive human activity. Cetaceans have also been negatively affected by our actions, so to implement protection and conservation plans, it is crucial to know the current state of the populations. In the last decades, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has become an important tool to

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Responsive nitric oxide‐releasing antibacterial materials for biofilm‐associated infections: Mechanisms, design strategies, and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the recent progress in responsive NO‐releasing materials and their applications in biofilm‐associated infectious diseases. The design principles and response mechanisms are given to provide inspiration toward the future development of multi‐responsive NO‐releasing materials.

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.
