Terrestrial Cyborg Insects for Real‐Life Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reviews the development of terrestrial cyborg insects from their emergence in 1997 to mid‐2025, examining three key aspects: locomotion control methods, associated challenges with proposed solutions, and practical applications. Framing these biohybrid systems as insect‐scale mobile robots, the review provides foundational insights for new ...

Key controls on the formation of reservoirs along the ultra-deep strike-slip fault zone in the depression of the northern Tarim Basin, NW China

Petroleum Exploration and Development
Based on the data of reservoir rock cores and 3D seismic inversion for reservoir, a comprehensive analysis was conducted using in-situ U-Pb dating of calcite cements, fluid inclusions, and geochemical data of fractured-vuggy reservoirs to investigate the

OriGrasp: A Multifunctional Origami‐Inspired Instrument for Delicate Manipulation in Abdominal Surgery

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This paper introduces an origami‐inspired, lightweight, reconfigurable instrument for robot‐assisted minimally invasive surgery. Its foldable design enables tiny access, tunable compliance, and multifunctionality, serving as a tool introducer or deformable grasper that safely manipulates delicate bowel tissue.

An unexplained tsunami: Was there megathrust slip during the 2020 Mw7.6 Sand Point, Alaska, earthquake?

Seismica
On October 19, 2020, the Mw7.6 Sand Point earthquake struck south of the Shumagin Islands in Alaska. Moment tensors indicate the earthquake was primarily strike-slip, yet the event produced an enigmatic tsunami that was larger and more widespread than ...

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Main controlling factors on oblique extensional deformations in multiphase rift basins: insights from analogue experiments

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
In order to investigate the influence of pre-existing faults and their angle (α) with different extension directions on oblique extension deformation and sag structure in multiphase rift basins, three sets of analogue experiments were designed based on ...

Economy of Touch : Task‐Driven Information Selection in Electrical Impedance Tomography‐based Tactile Robotic Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) tactile skins enable multiplexed measurements that trade sensing speed against information richness. This work introduces an economy‐of‐touch framework that treats tactile sensing as an information‐budgeting problem.

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible
