Programmable‐Stiffness Tensegrity Continuum Robot for Adaptive Multicurvature On‐Orbit Assembly
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A bioinspired tensegrity‐based continuum robot (BTCR) with programmable stiffness enables adaptive multicurvature morphing via coordinated intra‐ and intermodule regulation. A unified energy‐based framework predicts self‐equilibrium and deformation for serial modules. Experiments and Simulations demonstrate reconfiguration into hexagonal, circular, and

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...
