Two‐Dimensional Isotropic Spatial Differentiation Through Complete Polarization Control
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.This work enables two‐dimensional isotropic spatial differentiation at planar interfaces over a wide range of incident angles by extending the output polarization from linear to elliptical. The choice of incident angle can be used to balance broader spectral response at low angles and higher edge‐detection efficiency at larger angles.

Rotating Fluorescent Nanodiamond Assemblies With Focused Laguerre–Gaussian Beams
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembled fluorescent nanodiamond clusters are optically trapped and driven into controlled two‐dimensional rotation with Laguerre–Gaussian beams. With localized optical excitation, optically detected magnetic resonance spectra are collected at defined points along the orbit in a uniform external magnetic field.

Engineering Exciton g‐Factors With Light in Type‐II Heterostructures
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.All‐optical approaches have emerged as cutting‐edge alternatives for ultrafast, energy‐efficient, and spatially localized tuning and switching of material properties. In our work, we demonstrate how light intensity alone can be leveraged to engineer g‐factors from a single‐type of carrier in type‐II heterostructures through Coulomb‐induced wavefunction

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
