Soil Moisture Content Sensor: Utilizing Bacterial Cells as Living Sensors [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoil moisture affects water and heat exchange between soil and air, weather and climate, and plant growth. Therefore, controlling and predicting soil moisture is vital for irrigation, nutrient supply, absorption, and crop productivity.

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 ...

Dependence of Soil Moisture and Strength on Topography and Vegetation Varies Within a SMAP Grid Cell
HydrologyOff-road vehicle mobility assessments rely on fine-resolution (~10 m) estimates of soil moisture and strength across the region of interest. Such estimates are often produced by downscaling soil moisture from a microwave satellite like SMAP, then using ...

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 ...

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

Use of soil and climate data to assess the risk of agricultural drought for policy support in Europe. [PDF]
, 2001 This paper describes the use of soil and climatic data for assessing the risk of drought in Europe. Soil moisture regimes are defined for soil classification purposes and these can be used to delineate areas with the same type of soil climate.
