3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

Motion and Morphology Planning for Autonomous Manipulation in Clutter With a Shape‐Shifting, Variable‐Stiffness Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Ecoefficiency Analysis and Regression in Data Conversion for Spiking Neural Network Training

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The environmental footprint of spiking neural networks is quantified during dataset encoding and training for autonomous driving regression across three benchmarks. Temporal depth emerges as the dominant driver of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while the accuracy–energy trade‐off proves dataset‐dependent. On conventional hardware, spiking models
