TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Wildlife rehabilitation

open access: yesAnimal Welfare, 1993
Sir, I am pleased that my Wildcare Handbook received a review in Animal Welfare 1992, 1: 301-302. Wildlife care is now being accepted as a discipline all over the world and I am sorry that Ian Robinson of the RSPCA seems to have missed the whole purpose of the book, that of giving help and treatment to wild birds and other animals that for many years ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
