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.

Capital budgeting problems with fuzzy cash flows [PDF]
, 1999 We consider the internal rate of return (IRR) decision rule in capital budgeting problems with fuzzy cash flows. The possibility distribution of the IRR at any r 0, is defined to be the degree of possibility that the (fuzzy) net present value of the ...

Flexible Sensors for Robotics Tactile Perception: A Review
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Flexible tactile sensing for robotics is reviewed through four interconnected dimensions. Physical mechanisms include piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, iontronic, and optical sensing. Structural design includes bioinspired, defect‐based, and MEMS‐based tactile systems.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Sparse active‐infrared proximity sensing is coupled to an adaptive thigmotactic controller for camera‐inaccessible object retrieval. After grasping, receptor‐informed encoding transforms force, temperature, and wrist force–torque signals into spike trains for spiking neural network recognition.

Toward Mechanical Intelligence in Robotics
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robots can use their physical bodies to perform functions usually assigned to electronic sensors and controllers. This perspective defines mechanical intelligence through three core operations: filtering inputs, routing mechanical signals, and switching between states.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...
