Control of single-phase and three-phase DC/AC converters
In many applications of power converters, an AC voltage with a controllable/variable frequency and voltage amplitude is desired (e.g., in motor-drive applications). By contrast, in the case of grid-connected applications (e.g., photovoltaic systems), the

3D‐Printed Actuator Powered by Liquid Crystal Elastomer Muscles at the Water–Air Interface
Soft robots for unstructured environments require responsive, durable actuators. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) provide large reversible deformations under thermal or optical stimuli. Direct ink writing enables fabrication of LCE actuators integrated with silicone, with mesogen chemistry and oligomers optimized for printable inks.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
