Remora‐Inspired Sensing Suction Cup with Adhesion Monitoring and Force Detection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A suction cup with integrated liquid metal microchannel sensors enables stable multidirectional force sensing and adhesion monitoring in both air and water. The flexible resistive sensors, placed on the outer lip, transduce deformations into resistance changes under normal and shear loads.

Degeneracy Sensing Light Detection and Ranging‐Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with Dual‐Layer Resistant Odometry and Scan‐Context Loop‐Closure Detection Backend in Diverse Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This paper presents a degeneracy‐aware light detection and ranging (LiDAR)‐inertial framework that enhances LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping performance in challenging environments. The proposed system integrates a dual‐layer robust odometry frontend with a Scan‐Context‐based loop‐closure detection backend.
