Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

It is a fact that slippage causes tracking errors in both longitudinal and lateral directions which results to have less travel distance in tracking a reference trajectory. Less travel distance means having energy loss of the battery and carrying loads less than planned.

Optimizing 3D Bin Packing of Heterogeneous Objects Using Continuous Transformations in SE(3)
This article presents a method for solving the three‐dimensional bin packing problem for heterogeneous objects using continuous rigid‐body transformations in SE(3). A heuristic optimization framework combines signed‐distance functions, neural network approximations, point‐cloud bin modeling, and physics simulation to ensure feasibility and stability ...

Vision‐Based Handover and Organization of Robotic Scrub Nurse for Seamless Surgical Flow
This study presents a pose estimation‐based robotic scrub nurse (PERSN) that assists surgical procedures by estimating the surgeon's hand position, orientation, and grasping state, along with the constraint‐based 6D pose of surgical instruments. User evaluations show that PERSN provides greater immediate usability and reduces physical demand compared ...

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.
