Growing with me: co-designing adaptable, low-cost soft robotic wearables for children’s upper-limb rehabilitation.

Soft wearable robotics for rehabilitation has advanced quickly in adults [2], but paediatric work remains sparse and is concentrated on infant reaching exosuits [4], largely tested on infant-sized rigs (e.g., [5]), and on soft gloves. Read more

Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.

Neurosymbolic spatial reasoning: teaching language models to plan over qualitative geographic knowledge

About the project. Large language models are fluent but unreliable at spatial reasoning. Given a geographic knowledge graph, they recall isolated facts well, yet they struggle with questions that require several spatial relationships to be chained together. Read more
