Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance of Underwater Swarms Based on Relative Visual Feedback

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater multi‐robot and swarm systems require advanced methodologies for controlling collective behavior. Conventional single‐robot techniques, such as tethering, sonar imaging, and acoustic localization, are not scalable or effective for swarm applications.

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Electrically responsive knitted liquid crystal elastomer actuators for underwater applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
A knitted liquid crystal elastomer‐liquid metal (LM) actuator enables electrically driven soft robotics in water. Core–shell fibers are melt‐spun, knitted, and infused with LM to combine internal conductivity, external insulation, and programmable textile deformation.

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...
