A Framework for Taxonomy and Evaluation of Self-Reconfigurable Robotic Systems
IEEE Access, 2020 Self-reconfigurable robots have been proposed for a quite long period and in large numbers. However, there are very few systematic methodologies proposed to categorize and evaluate such kinds of robots.

High‐Sensitivity Terahertz Gas Sensing Enabled by Undercut Metal‐Dielectric‐Metal Metamaterial
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A terahertz (THz) metamaterial gas sensor is demonstrated using a metal–dielectric–metal (MDM) absorber with an undercut dielectric layer, which enlarges the gas‐replaced volume and strengthens refractive‐index perturbation of the resonant mode. A reflection dip at 0.766 THz is observed, and acetone–nitrogen tests yield concentration‐dependent shifts ...

Fault Diagnosis of a Reconfigurable Crawling–Rolling Robot Based on Support Vector Machines
Applied Sciences, 2017 As robots begin to perform jobs autonomously, with minimal or no human intervention, a new challenge arises: robots also need to autonomously detect errors and recover from faults.

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...
