Situating walkability: examining walkability elements on recurring routes
Walking is widely regarded as a ubiquitous, affordable, healthy and zero-carbon mobility mode that enhances the liveliness and inclusivity of urban spaces. In recent years, the concept of ‘walkability' has emerged as a central criterion for assessing the sustainability and liveability of cities.

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,

This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

"Delituari beldurrak" edo segurtasun ezak bizitza kalitatean eragiten du, herritarrek espazio publiko jakin batzuk saihestea ekar dezakeelarik, edo garraio modua aukeratzeko eta pertsonen erabakiak hartzeko orduan eragina izan dezakeelarik. Oinezkoentzat diseinatutako hiriek ingurumenean duten eragina murrizten dute, osasuntsuagoak eta seguruagoak dira.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...
