Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Flattening Energy Puddles for Enhanced Charge Transport in Wrinkled WSe2

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Strain‐inducing wrinkles in 1L‐WSe2 create carrier‐trapping energy puddles. Trioctylphosphine selenide (TOPSe) selectively passivates Se vacancies at these wrinkle sites, while steric hindrance suppresses basal‐plane reaction. Comprehensive suite of space‐resolved spectroscopic techniques reveals reduced nonradiative recombination, longer exciton ...

Radiation‐Based 3D Dual‐Mode Thermal Management Devices: Advances in Active/Passive Switching for Energy‐Saving Applications

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...

AGT: Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning With Advantage‐Guided Transformer

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is a paradigm that seeks to train policies directly based on fixed datasets derived from previous interactions with the environment. However, offline RL faces critical challenges in environments characterised by sparse rewards and datasets dominated by suboptimal trajectories.

Digital Systems Teaching and Research (DSTR) Robot: A Flexible Platform for Education and Applied Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The DSTR (pronounced “Disaster”) robot has a strong history of being adaptable to different user’s needs, and there are many opportunities ahead that indicate that the sky, quite literally, is not the limit for this robust platform. This paper provides a

Ethnic Diversity in Compulsory Schooling and Occupational Choices: Can Diversity Increase the Supply in Care‐Oriented Occupations

open access: yesIndustrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of ethnic diversity on occupational choices, particularly in care‐oriented occupations which are scarce in many high‐income countries. We use administrative data of all students in Switzerland to study two diversity dimensions: ethnic fractionalization and ethnic polarization.

Continuous time controller based on SMC and disturbance observer for piezoelectric actuators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
– In this work, analog application for the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) to piezoelectric actuators (PEA) is presented. DSP application of the algorithm suffers from ADC and DAC conversions and mainly faces limitations in sampling time interval.

Automated Tuberculosis Detection in Chest Radiographs: A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Clinical Decision Support

open access: yesApplied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
A hybrid deep learning framework integrating VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 is proposed for automated tuberculosis detection from chest X‐ray images. Feature‐level fusion enhances robustness and generalization, achieving 97.4% accuracy across multiple public datasets, supporting reliable clinical decision‐making in resource‐limited healthcare ...
