Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

An Improved Quasicontinuum Method for Coupling Atomistic Modeling and Continuum Formulation [PDF]
許多工程材料的變形與破壞在本質上都是跨尺度的行為,亦即巨觀實驗所觀察到的現象實際上係由不同尺度的行為所操控。故在計算材料力學方面,長久以來始終希望能透過瞭解物質微觀缺陷的組成,合理且正確地預測物質在巨觀下所觀察到的力學行為。本研究最主要的挑戰在於建構一個跨尺度的理論,一方面保留連體力學架構,以處理較大的區域範圍;另一方面,同時加入原子尺度的微觀資料以處理我們所感興趣的局部區域。 擬連體法(quasicontinuum method)在介觀尺度上為分子動力學與連體力學提供了一個跨尺度的架構 ...

Sleep‐trackers in the wild: A faceted taxonomy for information and interaction design
Abstract Consumer‐grade sleep‐tracking technologies (CSTs) have brought sleep into everyday data practices, reframing it from a clinical concern into a site of personal optimization and reflection. Yet existing taxonomies of sleep‐tracking often medicalize users and overlook the complexity of sleep‐tracking technologies. This paper presents SleepTax, a

Modeling of Distributed Ledger Deployment View [PDF]
The Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a peer-to-peer model of sharing data among collaborating parties in a decentralized manner. An example of DLT is a blockchain where data form blocks in an append-only chain.

Empowering Circular Startups: Unveiling the Blueprint for Circular Business Models
ABSTRACT Circular startups are increasingly recognized as key drivers in the transition toward a circular economy. Yet the business models (BMs) through which these startups operationalize circularity remain poorly understood, limiting the ability of entrepreneurial ecosystem actors to offer effective support.

Green Hydrogen for Public Transportation: Insights From an ABM and From Palma de Mallorca Case Study
ABSTRACT The development of green hydrogen (GH2) value chains is crucial for decarbonizing sectors such as transport and industry. Their emergence, however, requires coordination among diverse actors, technologies, and regulations, which traditional analytical approaches struggle to capture.
