Modular, Textile‐Based Soft Robotic Grippers for Agricultural Produce Handling

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces textile‐based pneumatic grippers that transform simple textiles into robust bending actuators. Detailed experiments uncover how cut geometry and fabric selection shape performance. Successful handling of fragile agricultural items showcases the potential of textile robotics for safe, scalable automation in food processing and ...

Improving the Linearized Laplace Approximation via Quadratic Approximations

open access: yesESANN 2026 proceesdings
Deep neural networks (DNNs) often produce overconfident out-of-distribution predictions, motivating Bayesian uncertainty quantification. The Linearized Laplace Approximation (LLA) achieves this by linearizing the DNN and applying Laplace inference to the resulting model. Importantly, the linear model is also used for prediction.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum for Image Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Solid Harmonic Wavelet Bispectrum (SHWB), a rotation‐ and translation‐invariant descriptor that captures higher‐order (phase) correlations in signals, is introduced. Combining wavelet scattering, bispectral analysis, and group theory, SHWB achieves interpretable, data‐efficient representations and demonstrates competitive performance across texture,

Better approximation by Stancu Beta operators in compact interval

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2011
The present paper deals with the study of Stancu-Beta operators which preserve the constant as well as linear functions but not the quadratic ones.

Existence and approximation of solutions of second order nonlinear Neumann problems

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2005
We study existence and approximation of solutions of some Neumann boundary-value problems in the presence of an upper solution $eta$ and a lower solution $alpha$ in the reversed order ( $alphageq eta$).

On an n-dimensional quadratic spline approximation

open access: yesJournal of Approximation Theory, 1992
This paper is devoted to the study of the multivariate quadratic spline functions on rectangular grids. The splines under discussion are continuous functions and piecewise quadratic in each variable. Error bounds and applications to shape-preserving approximation are also discussed.

Diversity of Pharmaceuticals Enhances Antibiotic Resistance in the Invertebrate Gut via Biofilm‐Mediated Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pharmaceutical diversity acts as an independent driver of antibiotic resistance in soil invertebrates. While bulk soil remains unaffected, the collembolan gut microbiome exhibits significant resistance gene enrichment under complex chemical exposure and diurnal warming.

Scheduling Parallel Jobs with Linear Speedup

open access: yes
We consider a scheduling problem where a set of jobs is distributed over parallel machines. The processing time of any job is dependent on the usage of a scarce renewable resource, e.g., personnel.

Generalized Quadratic Revenue Functions [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we focus on specification of revenue functions in their dual price space. We consider two distance functions, both dual to the revenue function: Shephard output distance function and the directional output distance function, both in price ...
