Strong and Weak Coupling Nanophysics with Free Electron Beams

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This paper focuses on a short review of the study of the coupling between optical excitations at the nanometer scale, made possible by recent advances in free electron beam spectroscopies. In particular, plasmon–plasmon, plasmon–exciton, and plasmon–phonon couplings are reviewed. Abstract The work of Luis M.

Near‐Infrared Lifetime Nanothermometry Detects Microwave‐Induced Brain Heating

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Ag2S near‐infrared lifetime nanothermometers enable remote, minimally invasive readout of absolute brain temperature in vivo during telecommunication‐grade 3 GHz microwave exposure. Temperature‐dependent luminescence decay tracks real‐time heating in deep tissue, revealing rises approaching 4 °C and allowing systematic assessment of exposure parameters,

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Stable Imitation of Multigait and Bipedal Motions for Quadrupedal Robots Over Uneven Terrains

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
How are quadrupedal robots empowered to execute complex navigation tasks, including multigait and bipedal motions? Challenges in stability and real‐world adaptation persist, especially with uneven terrains and disturbances. This article presents an imitation learning framework that enhances adaptability and robustness by incorporating long short‐term ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.
