Generalized Task‐Driven Design of Soft Robots via Reduced‐Order Finite Element Method‐Based Surrogate Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

The Open‐Source Paradox: Africa's Digital Sovereignty and the Structural Limits of Artificial Intelligence Autonomy

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐source artificial intelligence is widely promoted as a democratising pathway to digital sovereignty for African states, offering access to frontier architectures without prohibitive capital investment. This paper investigates whether open‐source AI represents a credible route to autonomy or generates a new form of structural dependency ...
