Bio‐Inspired Object Retrieval via Proximity‐Guided Adaptive Thigmotactic Exploration and Neuromorphic Recognition

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.

UC Food Waste: A Multimodal Robotic Perception Dataset for Robust Contaminant Detection in Complex Biowaste Scenes

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A balanced multimodal food‐waste dataset and a novel Split Spatial‐Spectral Attention fusion framework are presented for robotic contaminant detection. Separate processing of RGB, thermal, and multispectral inputs preserves subtle material signatures before feature integration, reducing modality interference and improving classification and ...

Enhancing Amphibious Flipper‐Based Locomotion Through Terrain‐Dependent Bayesian Optimization of Central Pattern Generator Control

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sea turtle‐inspired amphibious robot uses simulation‐guided optimization to adapt its flipper coordination to different environments. Sensitivity analysis and multiobjective Bayesian optimization identify terrain‐dependent controllers that are validated on hardware.
