Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

The future stability of upland blanket peat following historical erosion and recent re-vegetation [PDF]
, 2005 The importance of fluvial dissection in upland blanket peat erosion is well-established but knowledge of the significance of peatland gully system development is limited. This thesis investigates the stability of upland blanket peat in relation to recent

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.
