Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation and Participation in Budgeting: Antecedents and Consequences
: Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Ryan and Deci 2000b; Gagne´ and Deci 2005), the present research proposes and tests a motivation-based model of participation in budgeting that distinguishes among intrinsic motivation, autonomous extrinsic ...

Abstract The rapid growth of AI data centers (AIDCs) is intensifying stress on power systems and exposing operators to volatile electricity markets. This work develops a process‐informed co‐optimization framework that integrates liquid air energy storage (LAES) with AIDC operation. Unlike black‐box storage models, the proposed formulation captures LAES

Hardware‐learning co‐design combines volar‐plate‐inspired passive‐joint constraints with mechanism‐aware reinforcement learning for a low‐cost parallel‐linkage gripper. The resulting system performs quasi‐static object adjustment and dynamic pinch grasping, demonstrating reliable planar in‐hand manipulation and successful sim‐to‐real transfer. Parallel

Graph Neural Network‐Based Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Multi‐Robot Manipulation
Robot arms lifting a large object face a trade‐off: centralized controllers explode in parameters, while decentralized ones cannot coordinate. A GNN resolves this—each arm runs its own network but acts on the full team state, achieving centralized‐level coordination with decentralized execution. Trained across team sizes, a single policy scales to four‐

From Instruction to Inheritance: Scaling Robot Learning Through Knowledge Circulation
Robot learning moves from one‐way instruction toward knowledge circulation. Humans teach robots, robots teach one another, and robots share acquired skills with humans. This perspective connects teaching, embodiment, and learning architectures to explore how knowledge is inherited, adapted, and enriched across agents, opening a path toward scalable ...

AI‐Powered Smart Displays and AR Glasses: Perspectives and Challenges
This perspective examines how AI is reshaping smart displays and AR glasses. The latest in image‐quality enhancement, sensor‐integrated display optimization, and physiological sensing in display systems, followed by AI‐assisted AR technologies including waveguide optimization, image compensation, foveated rendering, and multimodal sensing, is discussed.

Objectives and Key Results–Driven Multiagent Framework for Mechanical Design and Simulation
Objectives and key results (OKR)‐agent, an OKR‐driven multiagent framework, turns a plain‐language engineering goal into completed mechanical simulations. Three peer agents—supervisor, modeler, and simulator—share a compact board of OKR and coordinate external molecular dynamics (MD) and finite‐element solvers through a standardized tool interface. The
