Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Descriptor driven concatenative synthesis tool for Python

Fields, 2017
A command-line tool and Python framework is proposed for the exploration of a new form of audio synthesis known as ‘concatenative synthesis’, a form of synthesis that uses perceptual audio analyses to arrange small segments of audio based on their ...

Sound Synthesis for Communicating Nonverbal Expressive Cues

IEEE Access, 2017
Non-verbal sounds (NVS) constitute an appealing communicative channel for transmitting a message during a dialog. They provide two main benefits, such as they are not linked to any particular language, and they can express a message in a short time.

Physics-informed differentiable method for piano modeling

Frontiers in Signal Processing
Numerical emulations of the piano have been a subject of study since the early days of sound synthesis. High-accuracy sound synthesis of acoustic instruments employs physical modeling techniques which aim to describe the system’s internal mechanism using
