This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

Inspired by human touch, a tendon‐driven soft robotic finger combines multimodal tactile sensing and deep learning to simultaneously perceive texture and softness on deformable surfaces. A CNN‐LSTM model fuses pressure, accelerometer, and gyroscope signals to accurately classify material properties, achieving up to 95.4% texture and 97.0% softness ...
