Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing of Soft Robotic Systems: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review explores the transformative role of multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) in the development of soft robotic systems. It presents current techniques, materials, and design strategies that enable functionally graded and adaptive structures.

Fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders: a global pattern.

PLoS ONE, 2014
More than 80 incidences of fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders--observed at the fringes of shallow freshwater streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, and fens--are reviewed.

Strong‐Magnetic Flexible Composites for Magnetically Responsive Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This perspective provides an overview of the performance mechanisms, preparation methods, and applications of strong magnetic flexible composite materials in soft actuators (such as gripping, movement, and sensing), and further explores current opportunities and challenges.

Survey of epigeic spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in a litchi orchard in Mpumalanga, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science
Spiders were sampled using pitfall traps over two 21-day periods in July 2020 and November 2020 at five sites within a litchi orchard in Hazyview, located in the Mpumalanga Lowveld of South Africa.

Spider vs. Prolog

Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies and Workshop for PhD Students in Computing, 2009
Control Network Programming is a programming paradigm that integrates ideas from imperative programming, declarative programming, rule-based systems, nondeterministic programming and graphical programming. Its computation rule is based on an extended specific version of backtracking.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Human eyetracking reveals a general avoidance of spider images but a bias toward spider-specific features

Frontiers in Arachnid Science
Many people are afraid of spiders and consider them to be both dangerous and disgusting, which can negatively impact their mental well-being as well as their relationship with nature.

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Spinnen aus Malaisefallen

Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 1994
The spider fauna of the higher vegetation strata is by far less well investigated than the bulk of epigeic spiders. The present paper refers to spiders collected in Malaise traps that were used during an insect sampling program in Brandenburg (Germany ...
