Edible Pouch Motors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AGGREGATE STABILITY AND ORGANIC CARBON CHARACTERISTICS IN A FORESTED ECOSYSTEM OF NORTHERN NIGERIA

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2012
Soil organic matter associated with different size aggregates differ in structure and function; therefore, play different roles in soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover.

Soil Aggregation by Microorganisms Following Soil Fumigation

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1958
Abstract The influence of autoclaving and of fumigation with eight chemical formulations upon microbial numbers in straw‐amended Peorian loess and the extent to which these treatments affect the degree of aggregation brought about by subsequently introduced inocula were determined. A mixed soil flora,

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Soil aggregate-associated organic carbon dynamics subjected to different types of land use: Evidence from 13C natural abundance

, 2018
The technique of 13C natural abundance provides new information that can be applied to study carbon (C) incorporation into soil aggregates and to improve our understanding of the aggregate hierarchy theory.
