Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A digital twin framework is presented for modular soft continuum arms built from fiber‐reinforced pneumatic actuators. Cosserat rod models describe individual actuators, while virtual assemblies are formed through serial and parallel networks, preserving actuator‐level architecture and arm deformation.

A COMPUTABLE FRAMEWORK FOR LOOP QUANTUM GRAVITY [PDF]
The Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2015 We present a non-perturbative quantization of general relativity coupled to dust and other matter fields. The dust provides a natural time variable, leading to a physical Hamiltonian with spatial diffeomorphism symmetry. The methods of loop quantum gravity applied to this model lead to a physical Hilbert space and Hamiltonian. This provides a framework

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Quantum gravity effects on Hořava–Lifshitz black hole
Nuclear Physics B, 2018 In this paper, we would like to obtain quantum gravity effects by using Hořava–Lifshitz black hole. We consider logarithmic corrected thermodynamics quantities and investigate the effects of logarithmic correction term.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The method presented in this paper provides a practical sensorless solution for estimating both contact force and contact location using only standard joint encoders and an available robot dynamic model. By reformulating the contact estimation problem using a single scalar equivalent contact parameter, the approach enables fast and robust computation ...

A Cable‐Driven Parallel Wire Robot for Probe Positioning and Tissue Palpation on Curved Phantoms
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A wearable cable‐driven parallel robot is introduced for autonomous ultrasound probe positioning and soft tissue palpation on curved surfaces. By combining visual feedback with tension‐optimized control, the system achieves millimeter‐scale positioning accuracy while enforcing safety force constraints.

Horizon entropy with loop quantum gravity methods
Physics Letters B, 2015 We show that the spherically symmetric isolated horizon can be described in terms of an SU(2) connection and an su(2)-valued one-form, obeying certain constraints.

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2008 Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations in which classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a ...
