Biomimetic Adhesion/Detachment Using Layered Polymers with Light‐Induced Rapid Shape Changes
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Geckos achieve rapid adhesion and detachment through their hierarchically structured toe pads. Inspired by this, we developed a crosslinked polymer film with a nanoscale layered structure that undergoes high‐speed, reversible expansion, and contraction under UV light.

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019 Spider diversity plays an important role in the balance of nature. Thus, a study on the diversity of spiders was carried out in Awka, Anambra State in the South Eastern Nigeria from January, 2018 to June, 2018. Spiders were collected from three habitats

The Canadian EntomologistThe genus Theridionconstruct beautiful silken nests for the protection of their eggs. I have collected what I take to be the nests of three species in Canada. They are generally found under the bank of decayed forest trees. Another which I found on an old fence at Quebec, although not constructed of silk, its form, in my opinion, is sufficient to class

Spiders and their Kin: An Investigation of Stanley's Chromatic Symmetric Function for Spiders and Related Graphs [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We study the chromatic symmetric functions of graph classes related to spiders, namely generalized spider graphs (line graphs of spiders), and what we call horseshoe crab graphs. We show that no two generalized spiders have the same chromatic symmetric function, thereby extending the work of Martin, Morin and Wagner.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The Buckled, Ultrasoft, Crack‐based, Large strain, EpiDermal (BUCKLED) sensor is a flexible, ultrasensitive wearable strain sensor designed to precisely measure subtle skin deformations. By utilizing a buckled structure to enhance compliance integrating crack‐based sensing mechanisms, it improves accuracy in applications like respiratory monitoring ...

A Social Spider Algorithm for Global Optimization [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 The growing complexity of real-world problems has motivated computer scientists to search for efficient problem-solving methods. Metaheuristics based on evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence are outstanding examples of nature-inspired solution techniques.

UP3: Unsupervised Predictive Path Planner for Mobile Robots in Unknown Environment
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.In this article, an unsupervised learning‐based predictive path planning framework UP3 for mobile robots is introduced. The framework employs attention‐based path optimization, control barrier functions, and a deep constraint correction module. UP3 allows the robot to use local observation to generate smooth, safe, and collision‐free path points toward
