This work presents a method to create neuron‐like (neuromorphic) spiking representations of texture that are invariant to the scanning speed and contact force applied in the tactile sensing process. In offline and real‐time experiments, these representations improve classification accuracy, computational efficiency, and the ability to identify textures

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

ChatMolData: A Multimodal Agent for Automatic Molecular Data Processing
While large language models (LLMs) struggle with molecular data due to single‐modality limitations, ChatMolData—a multimodal agent for processing databases, images, structure files, and documents—is presented. It combines LLMs with tools for retrieval, structuring, prediction, visualization, and search, achieving > 90% accuracy across 128 tasks.

Exploring Skill Generalization with an Extra Robotic Arm for Motor Augmentation
Extra robotic arms promise to augment human motor functions during multitasking. Herein, diaphragmatic‐controlled extra robotic arm (XRA) is investigated, demonstrating significant performance improvements—true functional augmentation—in trimanual tasks. However, limited generalization to tasks requiring fine motor skills is identified.
