LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Comparison of Short Generalist and Specific Markers to Assess the Diversity of Arthropods Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA
A large number of marker typologies have been developed for the metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA). Generalist markers have been advocated for their ability to amplify many taxa simultaneously and produce exhaustive biodiversity assessments, while

Embodied carbon impacts of residential development siteworks: new assessment framework

Buildings & Cities
Plans to decarbonise residential construction in many countries focus mainly on reducing the operational energy of dwellings and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, rather than the full life-cycle emissions of construction.

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.
