On‐Chip Microheater‐Based Back‐End‐of‐Line Compatible Synthesis of VO2 Films for Reconfigurable Silicon Photonics

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A back‐end‐of‐line‐compatible microheater platform enables localized synthesis and reversible switching of high‐quality VO2 directly on silicon photonic chips. The approach overcomes conventional thermal‐budget and patterning constraints while delivering device performance comparable to high‐temperature‐grown films, providing a scalable pathway for ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
