Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Dynamic Single‐Input Control of Multistate Multitransition Soft Robotic Actuator

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A concept for reducing the number of control inputs to one in a system with N degrees of freedom, is presented. Incorporating structural instabilities, cleverly, enables choosing any desired trajectory out of (N!)2 with only one input. The concept is demonstrated experimentally, along with analytical insights and numerical simulations.

Chromatic anomalies in Bothrops jararaca (Serpentes, Viperidae): Does xanthism affect survival? [PDF]

open access: yesBiotemas, 2010
This article describes, for the first time, the xanthism in two specimens of B. jararaca. It also describes the snakebite caused by one of these specimens, followed by a discussion on the adaptive advantages (e.g.

Thermally Responsive Architected Actuators with Programmable Shape Morphing and Tunable Stiffness

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tunable‐stiffness architected morphing structure enables programmable shape transformation and load‐bearing functionality through thermal activation. By tessellating rigid particles with shape memory alloy‐based soft connectors, the system achieves simultaneous morphing and stiffness modulation.
