A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Inspired by human touch, a tendon‐driven soft robotic finger combines multimodal tactile sensing and deep learning to simultaneously perceive texture and softness on deformable surfaces. A CNN‐LSTM model fuses pressure, accelerometer, and gyroscope signals to accurately classify material properties, achieving up to 95.4% texture and 97.0% softness ...

An example of stick-slip and stick-slip-separation waves
The dynamical problem of a brake-like mechanical system composed of an elastic cylindrical tube with Coulomb's friction in contact with a rigid and rotating cylinder is considered.

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

On the stick-slip behaviour of water-lubricated rubber sealings
The phenomenon of friction-induced vibration is investigated, focussing on the automobile topic of a car door window in sliding contact with the adjacent rubber seal.

ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.

Experiment and Simulation of Self-excited Torkbuster
The stick-slip vibration is a technical bottleneck restricting for PDC bit in efficient drilling deep hard formation. To reduce the stick-slip vibration of drill bit during drilling deep hard formations, a torkbuster has been introduced.

NiFe‐NO3 Layered Double Hydroxide as a Novel Anode for Sodium Ion Batteries
This study demonstrates, for the first time, the effectiveness of using LDH as an anodic material in SIB. The material is stable and show high specific capacity, the reaction mechanism has been thoroughly investigated and comprehensively described and involves a phase change reaction followed by sodium intercalation.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...
