The Elephant Trunk Skin Inspires a Highly Sensitive and Deformable, Yet Robust, Armor Skin
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.The study presents the elephant trunk‐inspired armor skin with tactile sensing (ETATS). The ETATS architecture stretches and compresses while resisting puncture and tear, and it enables optical detection of pressure and lateral strain. Morphology‐based decoupling of strain and pressure paves the way to sensitive and deformable, yet robust, soft‐robotic

Control of a 3-dimensional snake-like robot
, 2003 Biological snakes' diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for environment. The special structure of snakes and their unique movement offer them peculiar ability of climbing and moving even in some ill-conditioned ...

Design study of an earthquake rescue robot [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis describes the design of a brush robot for earthquake rescue and for traversing pipes with varied cross sectional shape. Earthquake rescue is a very dangerous, difficult and challenging task, in which emergency services rescue people who are ...

Stability and Adaptability of Passive Creeping of a Snake-like Robot
, 2010 The control of a snake-like robot is a challenging problem because of the complex dynamics and the unknown environment. We have proposed an energy-based method, called passive creeping, to control the serpentine locomotion.

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1479-1490, June 2026.ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Path planning of a snake-like robot based on serpenoid curve and genetic algorithms
, 2004 The path of the snake-like robot has no repetition because its motion is influenced by manifold indeterminate factors such as ground condition, mechanism's vibration and motor voltage's variety.

Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

A cubic CPG model for snake-like robot to adapt to environment
, 2010 In this paper, we propose a new CPG model for the snake-like robot being able to adapt to different environments. This model can produce typical serpentine, sidewinding and traveling wave locomotion gaits and switch between them automatically based on a ...
