Edible Pouch Motors

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

The vegetation of the northeastern Orange Free State, South Africa: physical environment and plant communities of the Ea land type

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1993
The research was carried out in the Ea land type of the northeastern Orange Free State, with the objective of reclassifying and refining Acocks’s veld types. TWINSPAN classification results were further refined by Braun-Blanquet procedures. The 100 relev^

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Mercury in the surrounding of old mining loads of Rudňany and Merník [PDF]

open access: yesActa Montanistica Slovaca, 2006
The contribution assesses the load of selected components of the environment by mercury after more than one decade from closing of the mining and mineral processing operation in Rudňany and more than seven decades in Merník. In the vicinity of the former

Survival of Radopholus similis (Cobb) in volcanic soils without host-plant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is the most damaging nematode on bananas. To minimize applications of nematicide, cropping systems based on fallow, rotation crop, and clean planting material have been developed in the French West Indies.

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

open access: yesAdvanced 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.
