Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Numerical Optimization of a Hybrid Cooling System for Lithium‐Ion Battery Packs: PCM‐Assisted and Liquid Cooling Integration

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a hybrid cooling system design that constructs a phase change material (PCM) filled layer between a liquid cooling jacket and cylindrical battery cells, combining the advantages of efficient liquid cooling and passive temperature control from PCM. The system performance was optimized through numerical simulation.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
