Pragmatic Language Difficulties in Children with Specific Language Impairment – A Systematic Review

Journal of Child Language Acquisition and Development, 2021
Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a developmental disorder wherein a child fails to acquire age-appropriate linguistic skills. The study attempted a systematic review of articles pertaining to pragmatics in children with SLI in the last decade.

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Multimodal Engagement Assessment in Children During Invented Story Paradigm With a Social Robot

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal framework is proposed to assess children's engagement during storytelling interactions with a social robot. Gaze, physiological, and behavioral data are combined and validated against observer ratings. An automated gaze‐labeling strategy is introduced, and supervised classifiers achieve high accuracy. The study supports scalable engagement

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

In Situ X‐Ray Tomography and Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Damage Evolution in C/C‐SiC Composites Fabricated by Liquid Silicon Infiltration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the internal structure of fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites affects their resistance to damage. By combining 3D X‐ray imaging with acoustic emission monitoring during mechanical testing, it reveals how silicon distribution influences crack formation.

CNTN2 Deficiency Disrupts Ascending Auditory Neuroglial Interactions and Redox Homeostasis in Neural Presbycusis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
. ABSTRACT Neural presbycusis disrupts auditory timing and speech perception, yet its molecular basis remains poorly understood. This study identifies Cntn2 as the Ranvier's nodal molecule significantly downregulated in aged auditory nerves. Cntn2 heterozygous knockout (Cntn2+/−) mice showed elevated auditory brainstem response thresholds and prolonged
