Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A latent diffusion‐based framework is proposed for designing functionally graded metamaterials with perfect connectivity. By integrating vector‐quantized latent representations with mechanistic guidance, the framework enables accurate inverse design toward target elastic properties.
