Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Soft Robots Proprioception Through Stretchable Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the potential of laser‐induced graphene and silicone sensors for soft pneumatic grippers’ proprioception. The sensors are thin, stretchable, mechanically transparent, and easy to integrate. Finite‐element method analysis identifies the finger's neutral bending plane and four sensor positions are tested to validate the ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a method to create neuron‐like (neuromorphic) spiking representations of texture that are invariant to the scanning speed and contact force applied in the tactile sensing process. In offline and real‐time experiments, these representations improve classification accuracy, computational efficiency, and the ability to identify textures

Enhanced Actuation Stress in Variable Stiffness Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) filled with low‐melting‐point alloy particles exhibit a fivefold increase in actuation stress and tunable stiffness. At low filler concentrations, mechanically enhanced network entropy boosts force output, while higher concentrations enable variable stiffness. This composite design mimics muscle‐like behavior, advancing
