Customizable Piezo‐Transmittance‐Based Multiaxial Force Sensor With Deep‐Learning‐Assisted Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Development of a soft tri‐axis piezo‐transmittance sensor with integrated LEDs and photodiodes enables multidirectional force sensing through deformation‐induced optical modulation. A tailored 1D convolutional neural network provides real‐time force direction and intensity prediction, achieving 99.6% classification accuracy and a mean squared error of ...

An All‐Fabric Wearable System for Human‐Machine Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An all‐fabric sensing system enables wearable human–machine interaction through a breathable, stretchable, and scalable design. The all‐fabric capacitive sensor achieves a gauge factor of 2.03 over 72% strain and supports body‐motion tracking, 90.5% hand gesture recognition, and real‐time prosthetic hand control, demonstrating a promising pathway ...

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
