Toward Fully Soft and Multifunctional Shape Sensing via Optical Waveguide Arrays
This work develops a sheet made with arrays of soft optical fibers that can reconstruct its 3D surface shape. Synergy of the waveguides’ responses to bending and pressing force allows shape reconstruction with resilience to damage. Applied onto surfaces of robotic or living systems, our design can be implemented in virtual reality, teleoperation ...

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is

A Scalable and Resource‐Efficient Pipelined p‐Computer for Probabilistic Ising Machines
(a) Block diagram of the portfolio optimization problem: given M assets, the goal is to determine the optimal weights w that maximize the expected return (based on the mean historical assets return u), while minimizing the risk, quantified by the assets covariance matrix S.

Exploiting Edge Semantics in Job Shop Scheduling Problem With Heterogeneous Graph Transformers
A heterogeneous graph transformer (HGT) is introduced for reinforcement learning‐based job shop scheduling by explicitly distinguishing precedence and machine‐contention relations through edge‐type‐specific attention. The proposed framework learns richer scheduling representations, improves decision quality over homogeneous graph models, and highlights

A Multidimensional Perspective on Network Conditions in Telesurgery
A multidimensional framework systematically evaluates how combined network impairments influence telesurgical performance. By jointly analyzing latency, jitter, bandwidth, and packet loss, the proposed methodology identifies relevant network condition parameters and their interactions, supporting the design of reliable and safe telesurgical systems ...

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development
