Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Towards postural balance control of exoskeletons
, 2020 Lower-limb wearable exoskeletons have been designed to assist people that have a spinal cord injury during standing and walking. However, because these people generally also have impaired balance, it is difficult, if not impossible for them to operate these exoskeletons without additional supporting aids, such as crutches.

Treecreeper Drone: Adaptive Mechanism for Passive Tree Trunk Perching
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Taking inspiration from treecreepers, a passively triggered aerial robot that can reliably perch on vertical tree trunks is presented. The friction‐based approach combines a microspine array with a tail‐like support, and then validates via dynamic analyses and flight experiments, ensuring stable performance across trunk diameters and bark textures ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A machine learning approach utilizes micro inertial measurement units (μIMUs) for noninvasive sarcopenia screening through a sit‐to‐stand test. With 53 older participants wearing IMUs, 510 features are extracted across four motion phases. Five algorithms (support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbors, decision tree, linear discriminant analysis, and ...

Thermally Responsive Architected Actuators with Programmable Shape Morphing and Tunable Stiffness
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A tunable‐stiffness architected morphing structure enables programmable shape transformation and load‐bearing functionality through thermal activation. By tessellating rigid particles with shape memory alloy‐based soft connectors, the system achieves simultaneous morphing and stiffness modulation.

Alzheimer's &Dementia, EarlyView.Abstract US clinical practice guidelines for the diagnostic evaluation of cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or AD and related dementias (ADRD) are decades old and aimed at specialists. This evidence‐based guideline was developed to empower all—including primary care—clinicians to implement a structured approach for evaluating a ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Nelore (N) and Nelore × Pantaneiro (NP) heifers exhibited similar grazing times, which were higher compared with Nelore × Angus (NA) heifers. Nelore heifers showed higher wither height and hip height values compared with NP heifers. The average values for NA heifers did not differ from the other genotypes. It was observed that chest depth, heart girth,
