This work presents a soft continuum robot (SCR) that can be used as a soft continuum manipulator (SCM) and a soft snake robot (SSR). This is achieved using expanded polyethylene foam (EPE) modules as the soft material. In situations like post-earthquake search operations, these dual-purpose robots could play a vital role. The soft continuum manipulator with a camera attached to the tip can manually search for survivors in the debris. On the other hand, the soft snake robot can be made by attaching an active wheel to the soft continuum manipulator. This mobile robot can reach places humans cannot and gather information about survivors. This work presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of the dual soft continuum robot.

Cybercriminals are using these changes to stay one step ahead of us through deceptive tactics, such as malware, phishing schemes, ransomware, credential stuffing and domain hijacking. These strained teams often find themselves drowning in false positives: Organizations, on average, receive 5,000 alerts a day, and cybersecurity professionals can usually only investigate 10 to 20 in a single shift. Through sophisticated algorithms and predictive intelligence, these tools hunt down malware, run pattern recognition, and find and thwart attacks before they can cause damage. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, we should develop capabilities that consider the risk tolerance of individual organizations in assessing activity and threats so teams can work on a finite number of alerts, while maintaining an acceptable level of protection.
