Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Link Connectivity and Coverage of Underwater Cognitive Acoustic Networks under Spectrum Constraint

open access: yesSensors, 2017
Extensive attention has been given to the use of cognitive radio technology in underwater acoustic networks since the acoustic spectrum became scarce due to the proliferation of human aquatic activities. Most of the recent studies on underwater cognitive

Early deglaciation history of the southeastern Baffin Island shelf (Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

MHM: A Multiple Handshaking MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2016
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) are effective tools for exploring and observing the ocean. Due to the nonnegligible physical restrictions of the underwater acoustic communication, most MAC protocols applied in the existing terrestrial ...

An Adaptive Routing Protocol for Large-Scale Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

open access: yes, 2013
Unlike traditional terrestrial wireless sensor networks (WSNs), underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) utilize acoustic waves to transmit data. However, acoustic waves in UASNs have features of high propagation delay, low bandwidth, and low data ...

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.
