An actuator that mimics the actions of muscles in wings of insects by a constant stream of light as its power source provides a high output power for powering rapid motions of robots.

Liang Zhao and colleagues demonstrated a methodological framework that merges maritime knowledge and autonomous manoeuvring model for an intelligent shipping application. It serves as a fully digitalised platform for route customization and evaluation for maritime transportation, optimizing both operational decision-making and safety assurance.

In this work, authors develop intelligent electronic gloves for Conditionally Automated Vehicles that dynamically adjust the time drivers have to take control based on real-time identification of non-driving behaviours improving takeover performance safety and stability.

Embodied intelligence flourishes through the co-evolution of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). Astribot’s Design-for-AI (DFAI) hardware–software architecture redefines intelligent robot development, enabling safe and reliable systems with agility, dexterity, and the adaptability to tackle real-world challenges.

Social learning is a powerful strategy of adaptation in nature. An interactive rat-like robot that engages in imitation learning with a freely behaving rat opens a way to study social behaviours.

An article in Nature Communications uses mechanophores to visualize shockwaves, induced by high-velocity impacts, in a block copolymer.

A microscale kirigami metasheet shows electronically programmable shape morphing with a high degree of freedom and intricate locomotion.
