Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.

Integrated Flexible Zwitterionic Electrochemical Sensor Platform for Real‐Time Salivary Glucose Quantification

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A flexible electrochemical sensor platform can enable continuous, real‐time monitoring of salivary glucose for applications confined to spaces such as the oral cavity. Surface modifications with Prussian blue, chitosan, and zwitterionic polymers enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and antiadherent performance.
