Nature and biological creatures are some of the main sources of inspiration for humans. Engineers have aspired to emulate these natural systems. As rigid systems become increasingly limited in their capabilities to perform complex tasks and adapt to their environment like living creatures, the need for soft systems has become more prominent due to the similar complex, compliant, and flexible characteristics they share with intelligent natural systems. This review provides an overview of the recent developments in the soft robotics field, with a focus on the underwater application frontier.

The theory and application of advanced computational intelligence and intelligent informatics has been one of the most active fields of research over the last decades. A significant number of methods have been proposed to effectively solve problems of clustering, image processing, optimization, bio-information understanding, and modeling and control. They have been applied to many areas, including complex industrial processes and economics. This paper presents a review of the articles and papers addressing advanced computational intelligence and intelligent informatics from the Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics in the past two years.

AbstractRecent developments in synthetic biology may bring the bottom-up generation of a synthetic cell within reach. A key feature of a living synthetic cell is a functional cell cycle, in which DNA replication and segregation as well as cell growth and division are well integrated. Here, we describe different approaches to recreate these processes in a synthetic cell, based on natural systems and/or synthetic alternatives. Although some individual machineries have recently been established, their integration and control in a synthetic cell cycle remain to be addressed. In this Perspective, we discuss potential paths towards an integrated synthetic cell cycle.
