TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

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

open access: yesKoedoe: 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.

Spinnen aus Malaisefallen

open access: yesArachnologische 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 ...

Spider vs. Prolog

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
