Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A surrogate‐model‐based framework is proposed for combining high‐fidelity finite element method and efficient physics simulations to enable fast, accurate soft robot simulation for reinforcement learning, validated through sim‐to‐real experiments. Soft robotics holds immense promise for applications requiring adaptability and compliant interactions ...

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Saruq al‐Hadid, located at the edge of the Rub Al‐Khali desert near Dubai's southern border with Abu Dhabi, is among the region's richest archaeological sites. Renowned for its historical role in metallurgy, trade and human habitation, the site was occupied from the Umm an‐Nar period through the post–Iron Age. Despite its significance, much of

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a delay‐aware estimation and control framework for a non‐isothermal axial dispersion tubular reactor modelled as a coupled parabolic‐hyperbolic PDE system with recycle‐induced state delay. The infinite‐dimensional dynamics are preserved without spatial discretization by representing the delay as a transport PDE and adopting a late ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.
