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 ...

Uncertainty in the determination of soil hydraulic parameters and its influence on the performance of two hydrological models of different complexity [PDF]
Data of soil hydraulic properties forms often a limiting factor in unsaturated zone modelling, especially at the larger scales. Investigations for the hydraulic characterization of soils are time-consuming and costly, and the accuracy of the results ...

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
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.

Using soil surface gray level to determine surface soil water content
How to determine surface soil water content (SWC) quickly and accurately is fundamental in studying eco-hydrological processes and their modeling. Here we use laboratory experiments to determine surface SWC using soil surface gray level (SGL) values.
