Likely bifurcation: foundational work commoditises, frontier problems open.

The Gap

** Despite the high volume of research activity in robotics and machine learning, there is insufficient investigation into the integration of real-time emotional feedback mechanisms in robotics for enhancing human-robot interaction. Additionally, there is a lack of focus on developing robust methods for multi-modal sensory integration in collaborative robotic systems in unpredictable environments. 2. **

THE OPPORTUNITY

** The disparity between 1000 publications and only 10 open roles suggests that while the field is thriving with research, there remains a limited number of job opportunities, indicating a competitive job market. However, this also signals potential employers are looking for unique skill sets or specializations not widely addressed in current literature, presenting an opening for innovative researchers. 3. **

Machines that express emotions: from medical paternalism to machine paternalism?
Óscar Andrés Molina, B. Herreros, Gerardo de Vega González · Universidad Europea de Madrid, Instituto de Óptica

Abstract: Introduction: Machines do not have emotions, but they can be programmed to express (to appear to have) certain emotions. In medicine, robots and AI machines are used that could express positive emotions (joy, compassion, hope, gratitude, inspiration or awe) and priorities. Objective: To describe the main ethical implications of integrating the expression of emotions in machines used for ...

Toward Cultural Competence in Social Robotics
Enzo Ubaldo Petrocco
2026-09-08 · 0 citations
+ abstract
In human behavioral studies, cultural competence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and adapt to diverse cultural contexts. This concept can be extended to artificial systems such as social robots (SRs). In this domain, the absence of cultural competence may lead to inappropriate behaviors, reduced user satisfaction, system failures, and ethical concerns. Although the field has receiv...
Ubiquity and seasonality of deep submesoscales in the Southern Ocean revealed by elephant seals
Lia Siegelman, Matthew H. Alford, Baptiste Picard · Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of
2026-09-04 · 0 citations
+ abstract
Abstract Ocean submesoscale fronts with a size of 1–20 km have been extensively documented within the surface mixed layer, but little is known about their existence below it. We analyze a record of 133 598 dives performed by instrumented Southern Elephant Seals from 2014 to 2020 in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean with a sub-km resolution. Here, we show that submesoscale motions are intensi...
Truly mobile sub-terahertz communications beyond 6G via just-in-time IMU-assisted beam management
Sergey Petrushkevich, Vitaly Petrov, Josep Miquel Jornet · Northeastern University, KTH Royal Institute of Te
2026-09-04 · 0 citations
+ abstract
Abstract Sub-Terahertz (sub-THz) communication is a candidate for beyond-sixth-generation (beyond 6G) networks, promising Terabit-per-second rates at microsecond latencies. However, the highly directional beams required to overcome severe path loss make beam alignment under mobility challenging. Existing reactive in-band and out-of-band sensor-assisted strategies often fail to prevent outages from...

A unified framework for estimating fingertip forces and muscle activations in human grasping with anatomical modeling and soft-finger contact
Ryuki Nohara, Naomichi Ogihara, Mitsunori Tada · Hokkaido University of Science, Hokkaido Universit
2026-09-04 · 0 citations
+ abstract
Abstract We developed a method to estimate fingertip forces, torques, and muscle activations during object grasping with a digital hand model. Grasping an object requires several equilibrium conditions: force and moment balance on the object, consistency between fingertip forces and joint torques, alignment between joint torques and muscle forces, and a no-slip condition at the contact surface. Ou...
Clinical characteristics, surgical pathways, and outcomes of upper tract urothelial carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus: a multicenter retrospective study with a predominantly robotic approach

2026-09-04 · 0 citations
+ abstract
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) with venous tumor thrombus is exceedingly rare and highly aggressive, and its anatomical complexity poses major surgical challenges in the absence of standardized operative strategies. We retrospectively reviewed UTUC patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy with thrombectomy at the First and Third Medical Centers of the Chinese PLA General Hospital...
