Active Whisker‐Inspired Food Material Surface Property Measurement Using Deep‐Learned Mechanosensor
Herein, a new application is proposed for an active whisker sensor that mimics the movement of rat whiskers. The whiskers, which are deformed by contact with an object, provide information about surface properties. It is shown that active whisker sensors can be useful in the food industry, and data identification is performed using deep learning ...

Real‐Time Control of a Humanoid Robot for Whole‐Body Tactile Interaction
Inspired by human tactile interaction, this work integrates large‐area artificial skin feedback (force and proximity) into real‐time quadratic programming control for humanoids. This enables robots to leverage distributed sensing to manage forces, safely move around unknown and dynamic obstacles, and robustly handle objects with uncertain geometry ...

Electronic‐Free Particle Robots Communicate through Architected Tentacles
This work introduces a new class of particle robots that communicate without any electronic components. Their communication protocols are encoded in the geometry of their tentacles are and realized solely through physical contact. Building on these simple communication schemes, electronic‐free particle robots can achieve a range of collective ...

Improving Long‐Term Glucose Prediction Accuracy with Uncertainty‐Estimated ProbSparse‐Transformer
Wearable devices collect blood glucose and other physiological data, which serve as inputs to the prediction model. After data embedding, a structure utilizing ProbSparse self‐attention and a one‐step generative head within a Transformer‐based model is introduced, which is concurrently designed for deployment on edge devices, enabling real‐time ...
