Mechanically‐Gated Stochastic Resonance for All‐Optical Acoustic Sensing in Noisy Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically‐gated stochastic resonance (MGSR) sensing system is demonstrated, wherein stochastic resonance is enabled by an all‐optical bistable fiber Bragg grating feedback loop and gated by mechanical resonance. Under ambient noise, the system generates bistable outputs satisfying the Kramers escape‐rate condition, yielding signal‐to‐noise ratio ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Shape Sensing, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance of the Continuum Manipulator in Confined Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An integrated sensing framework combines capacitive sensors, IMU, and laser array sensor. The shape reconstruction is finished by backpropagation neural network. Accurate shape estimation (relative error of 1.04%) is maintained under a 110 g tip load, while a miniaturized VL6180X array enables local environmental reconstruction and reactive obstacle ...
