Unveiling Exsolution‐Induced Giant Electronic and Magnetic Property Changes in Non‐Stoichiometric Titanate Perovskite Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A giant insulator to metal transition and emergent superparamagnetism are revealed by nanoparticle exsolution in non‐stoichiometric titanate perovskite thin films. By combining transport, synchrotron spectroscopy, and first‐principles calculations, this work reveals how defect reconfiguration and lattice reconstruction fundamentally reshape electronic ...

Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Through precise epitaxial engineering, the cubic and paraelectric KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ is transformed into a robust ferroelectric. By leveraging lattice‐mismatched substrates to apply controlled epitaxial strain, a stable ferroelectric ground‐state is achieved with a transition temperature as high as 475 K, establishing KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ as a highly ...

Robots and Free Software

Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering, 2017
This article examines whether the arguments put forward by Free Software advocates in the context of computers also apply for robots. It summarises their key arguments and explores whether or not they appear transferable to robot cases. Doing so, it comes to the conclusion that, in the majority of cases, the reasons that may make the use of Free ...

Integrating robotics software

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
Developing software for controlling robotic systems is costly due to the complexity inherent in these systems. There is a need for tools that permit a reduction in the programming efforts, aiming at the generation of modular and robust applications, and promoting software reuse.

Analysis of software connectors in robotics

2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011
Most of the recent robot software frameworks follow a component-oriented development approach. They allow developers to compose a distributed application from a set of interacting components. Though these frameworks provide rich functionality, often they fail to cope with non-functional aspects (e.g., network scalability, predictability of system ...

Energy efficiency in robotics software

Proceedings of the 35th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering Workshops, 2020
Nowadays, robots are widely used in many areas of our lifes, such as autonomous storage, self-driving vehicles, drones, industrial automation, etc. Energy is a critical factor for robotic systems, especially for mobile robots where energy is a finite resource (e.g., surveillance autonomous rovers). Since software is becoming the central focus of modern
