Toward Interaction Dynamics: A Predictive Framework for Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction

A compact offset-free interaction-error MPC for torque-controlled manipulators: a force-domain random-walk state estimates persistent interaction and model error, and a 30-variable convex QP maps the correction through the current task inertia while constraining the applied joint torque.

Fact-Checking Comments Precede Community Notes to Misleading Posts on X

Community-based fact-checking systems, such as X's Community Notes program, offer a potentially scalable approach against online misinformation diffusion. However, their efficacy is substantially undermined by the delay of fact-check delivery. To address this challenge, we investigated the promise of organic user comme...

Less Is More: Balancing Positive and Negative Space in Visual Concept Blending

Graphic designers often blend visual concepts to communicate multiple ideas within a single image, leveraging positive and negative space to create balance, emphasis, and aesthetic appeal. While computational methods have begun to support automatic concept blending, they largely overlook the role of spatial composition...

Cross-Modal Guidance for Out-of-View Object Search in Simulated Prosthetic Vision

Out-of-view guidance is well established in virtual and augmented reality, but its effectiveness may depend on the visual bandwidth available to the user and under severe visual constraints, guidance performance depended on cue implementation and search stage.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
