This study introduces a data‐driven framework that combines deep reinforcement learning with classical path planning to achieve adaptive microrobot navigation. By training a surrogate neural network to emulate microrobot dynamics, the approach improves learning efficiency, reduces training time, and enables robust real‐time obstacle avoidance in ...

Liquid Jetting‐Based Miniature Robotic Navigation in Confined Fluidic Spaces
We introduce a new class of liquid‐jetting‐based miniature robots (JetBots) ranging in size from mm‐to‐cm, featuring a unified approach in design, fabrication, and actuation. They demonstrate fast locomotion (30.3 cm/s), rapid steering (648.8°/s), and diverse functions, such as puncturing soft materials and unlimited cargo sampling and delivery, paving

Interpreting How Neural Networks Infer Scatterer Geometry from Echolocation Echoes
Neural networks enable echolocation‐based shape classification but remain difficult to interpret due to their black‐box nature. This work presents a feature‐importance metric to uncover the echo regions driving decisions in shape‐specialized networks.

Automated Real-Time Localized Sea State Estimation During Navigation Based on the Beaufort Scale
This work presents an automated, real-time approach for localized sea state estimation using a single camera mounted on a ship’s bridge. A labeled dataset of sea surface images, collected during regular operation of an overseas liner, is built and

Segmented Therapeutic Delivery via Acoustic Microbubble Relay
An acoustically driven, modular segmented delivery system is presented to overcome mechanical limitations of conventional microcatheters. Oscillating microbubbles generate directional streaming that enables continuous, targeted transport across open, angled segments.

ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of large language model (LLM) technology is profoundly transforming the practice of social science research. Scholarly discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s role in social science research can be organised into three levels: AI as a research tool, AI as a methodological infrastructure and AI as a quasi‐cognitive ...

Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.
