چکیده
Hydrogel Actuators In article number 2209870, Stefano Di Stefano, Andreas Walther, and co-workers show how pH feedback systems with programmable lifetimes pH-responsive actuators can be combined to make autonomous soft robotic devices that perform tasks in a pre-organized fashion. Such robots enable, for instance “fire-and-forget” operation interlocking of complex interfaces or gripping objects through small openings.

Towards Energetically Autonomous Foraging Soft Robots
A significant goal of robotics is to develop autonomous machines, capable of independent and collective operation free from human assistance. To operate with complete autonomy robots must be capable of independent movement and total energy self-sufficiency. We present the design of a soft robotic mouth and artificial stomach for aquatic robots that will allow them to feed on biomatter in their ...
متن کاملEmpowered Situations of Autonomous Agents
Identifying situations in which power exists is an ability that agents can exploit when they must interact with one another. In particular, agents can take advantage of empowered situations to make other agents satisfy their goals. The aim of this paper is to identify situations in which power might exist through the roles agents play in a society as well as the powers that emerge from their ow...
متن کاملMetamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملTranslated chemical reaction networks.
Many biochemical and industrial applications involve complicated networks of simultaneously occurring chemical reactions. Under the assumption of mass action kinetics, the dynamics of these chemical reaction networks are governed by systems of polynomial ordinary differential equations. The steady states of these mass action systems have been analyzed via a variety of techniques, including stoi...
متن کاملMonotone chemical reaction networks
We analyze certain chemical reaction networks and show that every solution converges to some steady state. The reaction kinetics are assumed to be monotone but otherwise arbitrary. When diffusion effects are taken into account, the conclusions remain unchanged. The main tools used in our analysis come from the theory of monotone dynamical systems. We review some of the features of this theory a...
