Mechanics Model for Inclinometer Deformation in Soft Soil and Improvement of the Measurement Method

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022
In practical engineering, data of lateral deformation in field soft soil are measured by inclinometers. Error is always present in soft soil deformation surveys due to rigidity differences and other objective factors, which means that the measured data ...

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 ...
