Factors Affecting IEQ in Housing: A Systematic Review of Occupant Perceptions and Evaluations

Buildings
Background: Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in housing plays a critical role in supporting health, comfort, and daily well-being, yet research and practice often address thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality conditions in isolation.

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Post-occupancy evaluation and human-centered indoor environmental quality in higher-education buildings: a structured review

Frontiers in Built Environment
The ongoing discrepancy between predicted and actual building performance has reinforced the need for post-occupancy evaluation (POE) to ensure that higher education facilities meet the demand for stable indoor conditions to support learning, teaching ...

Mutual Adaptation and Influence: Review of Latent Dynamics Models in Human–Robot Interaction

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots are becoming better teammates by learning hidden patterns in how people act. This review covers how state‐of‐the‐art approaches leverage these patterns to help robots not only react but also anticipate and guide cooperation. Here, we synthesize a unifying framework for these approaches, classify and review existing works, and highlight key ...

Human‐Scale Rotating Magnetic Field Delivery With Permanent Magnets Under Anatomic and Robotic Constraints

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rotating magnetic fields (RMFs) are widely used for microrobot propulsion and control. We show that RMF generation with permanent magnets is mechanically feasible for many limb and intracranial applications but becomes constrained for thoracic targets.
