Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

Soft Colloidal Robots: Magnetically Guided Liquid Crystal Torons for Targeted Micro‐Cargo Delivery

Small, EarlyView.
Torons, topological quasiparticles in liquid crystals, can be propelled using electric fields and precisely steered with magnetic alignment, enabling programmable motion without fluid flow. In microfluidic channels, they transport colloidal cargo and exhibit novel dynamic behavior. Their uniformity, softness, and reconfigurability make torons ideal for

Heterogeneous Multilayer Nanopores via Chemically Tuned Dielectric Breakdown for Single‐Molecule Sensing

Small, EarlyView.
A scalable fabrication method based on chemically tuned controlled dielectric breakdown (CT‐CDB) enables heterogeneous multilayer nanopores integrating SiNx with 2D materials such as hBN, MoS2, and graphene. The resulting nanopores exhibit distinct electrokinetic behaviors and low noise, allowing structure‐dependent single‐protein sensing.

Mammalian Osteoderm Ultrastructure in the Armored Acomys Spiny Mouse Tail

Small, EarlyView.
The ultrastructure of armored platelets – termed osteoderms – in the tail skin of Acomys cahirinus spiny mice is characterized using 2D and 3D microscopy methods. The imbricated structure is composed of calcium phosphate biomineral and has select structural elements that are bone‐like and tooth‐like in nature.
