A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

3D‐Printed Shark‐Inspired Soft–Hard Hybrid Underwater Robot With Buoyancy Control and Onboard Vision
A fully self‐contained shark‐inspired underwater robot is developed using 3D‐printed soft–hard hybrid structures, servo‐driven propulsion, and pump‐based buoyancy control. The platform achieves three‐dimensional locomotion and onboard vision‐based target tracking, offering a reproducible and accessible framework for biomimetic underwater robot research.

The effect of bullet yaw on the threat level : a numerical investigation [PDF]
It is well known that yaw can affect the penetrative power of armour piercing rounds. To investigate this effect purely experimentally is difficult because the typical ballistic set up does not allow control over the yaw angle of the projectile.

The impact of hybrid and electric powertrains on vehicle dynamics, control systems and energy regeneration [PDF]
The background to the development of so-called green or low-carbon vehicles continues to be relentlessly reviewed throughout the literature. Research and development (R&D) on novel powertrains – often based on electric or hybrid technology – has been ...

Soft Active Electromyography Interface for Machine Learning‐Enabled Silent Speech Recognition
A soft, hand‐worn electromyography interface enables intent‐driven silent speech recognition without continuous facial attachment. The device integrates liquid‐metal interconnects, a transparent flexible circuit, and elastomer encapsulation with a fingertip electrode that contacts perioral muscles only on demand.

Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.

Wind Energy Assessment using a Wind Turbine with Dynamic Yaw Control
The goal of this project was to analyze the wind energy potential over Lake Michigan. For this purpose, a dynamic model of a utility-scale wind turbine was developed to estimate the potential electrical energy that could be generated.
