Countermovement jump performance in Malaysian young wushu athletes: normative values and sex-based differences

Revista de Artes Marciales Asiáticas
Wushu, commonly known as kung-fu, is a demanding sport requiring rapid force application to achieve significant vertical jump heights. These jumps are integral for executing complex aerial tasks and obtaining higher performance scores.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

“On Scale Effect of Self-Propulsive Performance”

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1969
In this paper the author treats the problem on scale effect of self-propulsive performance of a ship by theoretical calculation. The self-propulsion tests adapted are the model self-propulsion point test and the conventional self-propulsion test and the Schoenherr's new self-propulsion test. In spite of many approximate treatments in the calculation he

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Research on the Influence of Hydrofoil Propulsive Parameters on Propulsion Efficiency

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Oscillating hydrofoils can be used to simplify the study of the swinging caudal fin propulsive mode of fish, where the motion parameters have a direct impact on the hydrodynamic performance and propulsive efficiency. In this study, numerical calculations

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
