Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Biodynamic Agriculture—And the Future of Agriculture
Abstract Agriculture, derived from “agri” (field) and “culture” (cultivation), embodies humanity’s evolving interaction with Nature. From the Neolithic Revolution’s settlement farming to the Industrial Revolution’s mechanisation and the genomic and digital revolutions, agriculture has shaped civilisations while often harming ...

Brand Agriculture and Economic Geography: A General Equilibrium Analysis [PDF]
This paper presents a general equilibrium model of NEG incorporating the brand agriculture which produces differentiated agricultural products. Focusing on the core-periphery space, we show that highly differentiated brand agriculture can be sustained in

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...
