Research on Key Technologies for Reconstruction and Expansion of Loose Semi-Rigid Base Asphalt Concrete Pavement

Zhongwai Gonglu
Some early-constructed semi-rigid base asphalt concrete pavements have severe looseness in the base layer, which makes it impractical to evaluate the fatigue life of the inorganic binder-stabilized layer for pavement reinforcement under these conditions.

Spectral Compensation Strategy for Radical‐Induced Dye Degradation in Liquid Crystal Polymer Composites

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A spectral compensation strategy is introduced to overcome radical‐induced degradation of dichroic dyes during UV photopolymerization. By incorporating a complementary photochromic liquid‐crystalline dye, broadband optical attenuation is preserved without disrupting photopolymerization, enabling high‐contrast and durable dye‐doped liquid crystal ...

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
