Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Scene‐Customized Learning for Multi‐Depth 3D Phase‐Only Hologram Generation
Scene‐customized geometric modeling constructs GM‐4K, a controllable 4K RGB‐D dataset for learning‐based multi‐depth hologram generation. By tuning intensity spectra and depth‐region sampling, the dataset reveals how training‐data statistics affect phase‐only hologram encoding and supports a spectral test framework for evaluating model generalization ...

A digital twin framework is presented for modular soft continuum arms built from fiber‐reinforced pneumatic actuators. Cosserat rod models describe individual actuators, while virtual assemblies are formed through serial and parallel networks, preserving actuator‐level architecture and arm deformation.
