LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of

The Role of IgM Anti‐acetylated Protein Antibodies and B Cells in the Origin of Antimodified Protein Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA). In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role ...
