“Small in size, but big in impact”: Socio-environmental reforms for sustainable artisanal and small-scale mining

Journal of Sustainable Mining, 2019
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) – small sized, largely unrecognized, rudimentary, and an informal form of mining – occurs in more than 70 countries around the world and is mainly hailed for its socioeconomic benefits and reviled for its ...

Liquid Metal Sensors for Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review thoroughly reviews liquid metal sensors in soft robots. Their unique material properties like high conductivity and good biocompatibility are analyzed. Working principles are classified, and applications in environmental perception, motion detection, and human—robot interaction are introduced.

$\ell^1$-Analysis Minimization and Generalized (Co-)Sparsity: When Does Recovery Succeed?

, 2017
This paper investigates the problem of signal estimation from undersampled noisy sub-Gaussian measurements under the assumption of a cosparse model. Based on generalized notions of sparsity, we derive novel recovery guarantees for the $\ell^{1}$-analysis

Discourse-Driven Argument Mining in Scientific Abstracts [PDF]

, 2019
Argument mining consists in the automatic identification of argumentative structures in texts. In this work we address the open question of whether discourse-level annotations can contribute to facilitate the identification of argumentative components and relations in scientific literature.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.
