Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

“Win‐Win” Structural Engineering of Chinese Herb Residues‐Derived Porous Graphitic Carbons: Decoupling the Porosity‐Graphitization Antagonism for Ultrahigh‐Rate Supercapacitors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
This work proposes a strategy that overcomes the porosity‐graphitization antagonism in carbon materials, converting Sargentodoxa cuneata residue into porous graphitic carbons to enable sustainable, high‐performance energy storage from biomass waste. The antagonism between porosity and graphitization critically limits carbon supercapacitor performance ...

Prioritized Real‐Time UAV‐Based Vessel Detection for Efficient Maritime Search

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 561-577, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Real‐time vessel detection in maritime environments is crucial for diverse applications requiring speed and accuracy. Static camera views often introduce blind spots, compromising detection efficiency. This paper proposes a novel, real‐time UAV‐based system that uses a dynamic camera control strategy to address this limitation.
