On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

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.
