Advanced 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.

Archaean megacrystic plagioclase units and the tectonic setting of greenstones [PDF]
Large (up to 20 cm), equidimensional, commonly euhedral, plagioclase megacrysts of highly calcic composition (An sub 80-90) occur commonly in all Archean cratons in one or more of three distinct associations: (1) as cumulate crystal segregations of ...

SWAM: Workload Automatic Mapper for SNN
Jisuanji kexue yu tansuo, 2021 In order to meet the computing requirements of large-scale spiking neural network (SNN), neuromorphic computing systems usually need to adopt large-scale parallel computing platforms. Therefore, how to quickly deter-mine a reasonable number of computing nodes for the SNN workload (that is, how to properly map the workload to the computing platform) to ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.
