HeaTrace: A Parametric Design‐to‐Fabrication Workflow for Thermally Programmable Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A programmable thermal actuation workflow enables soft robots to be designed and fabricated with embedded heaters that drive multiple responses. By combining performance‐driven heater design with multimaterial fabrication, the system supports thermally triggered shape change, stiffness tuning, and thermochromic visual response, as demonstrated through ...

Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Space Pump: Repairable 3D‐Printed Bioinspired Pneumatic Peristaltic Pump for Fluid and Regolith Transport in Space

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The space pump transports lunar regolith under vacuum condition. A fully 3D‐printed biomimetic peristaltic pump demonstrates reliable transport of liquids and solids using pneumatic ring actuators and flexible fused filament fabrication. The system operates under atmospheric and vacuum conditions, achieves high flow rates, and enables self‐priming ...

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.

Recurrent Neurodevelopmental Disorder Associated With a Dominant‐Negative TOP2B H63Y Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a 7 year‐old boy with severe neurodevelopmental disorder, medically‐refractory epileptic encephalopathy, hyperkinetic movement disorder, hypotonia, cerebral and cerebellar atrophy and hypomyelination who was found to have a heterozygous de novo TOP2B NM_001330700.2:c.187C>T, p.(His63Tyr) variant.

Listening to Hong Kong children's perspectives through pretend play

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has become an increasing concern in recent years. The issue has been regularly discussed by different stakeholders. However, the rising concern regarding quality in ECEC has not seriously taken into account children's perspectives.
