Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Proton-Exchanged Montmorillonite With Interlayer Accessibility as a Solid Acid Catalyst for the Upcycling of Polyoxymethylene. [PDF]

Chemistry
The first microwave‐assistance‐free heterogeneous catalytic upcycling of polyoxymethylene (POM) into valuable cyclic acetals is achieved with a reusable proton‐exchanged montmorillonite (H‐Mont) catalyst. Combining interlayer accessibility with strong acidity, H‐Mont enables efficient, regenerable, and versatile transformations with potentially biomass‐
