Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,

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 ...

Geomorphometric Analysis of Karst Terrains
, 2017 The availability of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEM) has increased the possibilities of geomorphometric analysis of karst terrains. Apart from the classical terrain parameters (distribution of elevations, slopes, orientations, curvature, etc.), there have been developments of new algorithms that expand further the possibilities of ...

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 ...

Analysis of snow avalanche terrain
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1977 A multiple regression analysis has been performed of the average annual number of avalanches and terrain factors. Observations were made at 36 paths at Rogers Pass over a period of 9 years. The average slope inclination measured from the starting point to the beginning of the run-out zone and exposure to wind proved to be the most significant ...
