Multimodal Engagement Assessment in Children During Invented Story Paradigm With a Social Robot
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A multimodal framework is proposed to assess children's engagement during storytelling interactions with a social robot. Gaze, physiological, and behavioral data are combined and validated against observer ratings. An automated gaze‐labeling strategy is introduced, and supervised classifiers achieve high accuracy. The study supports scalable engagement

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

Discretization for naive-Bayes learning: managing discretization bias and variance
, 2003 Quantitative attributes are usually discretized in naive-Bayes learning. We prove a theorem that explains why discretization can be effective for naive-Bayes learning.
