This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Wheel-rail interaction responses due to track geometry irregularities
With a view to examining the dynamic responses of the wheel-rail interface, a three-dimensional wagontrack system dynamics (3D WTSD) model was developed and presented widely in the literature by the authors in recent times.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Influence of track irregularities on the dynamic behaviour of medium spans viaducts
Railway track irregularities consist of a deviation of the inside edge of the rail from the ideal geometric rail contour and may occur even during the passage of the vehicle at a very low speed. Track irregularities can influence the dynamic behaviour of
