Responses of physical properties of typical Mollisols to freeze–thaw cycles under simulated conditions

Geoderma
Freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) extensively and intensely occur in cold regions, significantly affecting soil properties. However, quantifying the impacts of FTCs at different initial conditions on soil properties is challenging due to the complex interactive ...

Organic residues - a resource for arable soils [PDF]

, 2005
An increased recirculation of urban organic residues to arable soils has several environmental benefits, but there is a need for reliable test systems to ensure that soil quality is maintained.

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 ...

Delimitation of the Coastal Transition Zone in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador [PDF]

, 2012
The article presents a methodology for the delimitation of the coastal transition zone (CTZ) and the identification of zones with distinct soil properties in the Gulf of Guayaquil (GG), Ecuador. The Gulf was chosen as study area for its urban, economic

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 ...

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.
