Wearable Metamaterials with Embodied Intelligence for Programmable Control of Human Limbs Tremor
Resulting from alternating muscle contractions, tremors can severely limit human ability to perform everyday tasks like walking or talking, due to their disruptive nature. Medication and surgery may not always effectively address tremor control. A wearable device embodying programmable smart metamaterials with adaptable intelligence to meet the demand ...

Soft Robotic Sim2Real via Conditional Flow Matching
A new framework based on conditional flow matching addresses the persistent Sim2Real gap in soft robotics. By learning a conditional probability path, the model directly transforms inaccurate simulation data to match physical reality, successfully capturing complex phenomena like hysteresis.

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.
