The soft robotics community is currently wondering what the future of soft robotics is. Therefore, it is very important to identify the directions in which the community should focus its efforts to consolidate its impact. The identification of convincing applications is a priority, especially to demonstrate that some…

The methodologies of bioinspiration, biomimetics, and bioreplication are inevitably pointing to the incorporation of multifunctionality in engineered materials when designing ever more complex systems. Optimal multifunctionality is also the defining characteristic of metamaterials. As fibrous materials are commonly…

Neuroscience needs behavior, and behavioral experiments require the coordination of large numbers of heterogeneous hardware components and data streams. Currently available tools strongly limit the complexity and reproducibility of experiments. Here we introduce Autopilot, a complete, open-source Python framework for…

Comprehensive studies of molecular electrocatalysis require tedious titration-type experiments that slow down manual experimentation. We present elab as an automated electrochemical platform designed for molecular electrochemistry that uses opensource software to modularly interconnect various commercial instruments…

AI coding assistants excel at software tasks but lack structured access to laboratory hardware, the physical instruments that define experimental science. We present Ataraxis, an open-source framework that provides hardware control capabilities spanning camera acquisition, microcontroller communication, precision…

The emergence of affordable and reliable 3D printers has enabled laboratories to optimize setups, print custom parts, accelerate research, and rapidly prototype. A new movement has emerged in the past decade, where 3D printers are repurposed as laboratory-specific robots. There are three distinct approaches in the…

This paper reviews the evolution of methodologies and tools for modeling, simulation, and design of digital electronic system-on-chip (SoC) implementations, with a focus on industrial electronics applications. Key technological, economic, and geopolitical trends are presented at the outset, before reviewing SoC design…

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more pervasive in our daily lives, the number of devices that connect to IoT edges and data generated at the edges are rapidly increasing. On account of the bottlenecks in servers, due to the increase in data, as well as security and privacy issues, the IoT paradigm has…

The rapid progress and advancement in electronic chips technology provides a variety of new implementation options for system engineers. The choice varies between the flexible programs running on a general purpose processor (GPP) and the fixed hardware implementation using an application specific integrated circuit…

This paper investigates the role of the materiality of computation in two domains: blockchain technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Although historically designed as parallel computing accelerators for image rendering and videogames, graphics processing units (GPUs) have been instrumental in the explosion of…

This paper explores the possibilities of using a computing methodology—hardware and software—that employs technology other than binary. I refer to this as "supra-binary" computing. Software constructs that use more than binary techniques are discussed. The gains in supra-binary software are demonstrated, which includes…

Solubility is the maximum amount of solutes that can dissolve in a certain amount of solvent at a certain temperature, and it is significant in battery electrolyte research since it confines the design space. Thus, solubility measurement is a critical constraint on running self-driving labs for battery electrolyte…

The poseidon syringe pump and microscope system is an open source alternative to commercial systems. It costs less than $400 and can be assembled in under an hour using the instructions and source files available at https://pachterlab.github.io/poseidon. We describe the poseidon system and use it to illustrate design…

Information and communication technology (ICT) is transforming our world, including healthcare, education, science, commerce, government, defense, and entertainment. It is hard to remember that 20 years ago the first step in information search involved a trip to the library, 10 years ago social networks were mostly…

Wearable devices can be developed using hardware platforms such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Micro controller Units (MCUs), or Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), each with distinct advantages and limitations. ASICs offer…

Brain-inspired hardware emulates the structure and working principles of a biological brain and may address the hardware bottleneck for fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI). Current brain-inspired silicon chips are promising but still limit their power to fully mimic brain function for AI computing. Here, we…

Computers are an integral part of modern radiology practice. They are used in different radiology modalities to acquire, process, and postprocess imaging data. They have had a dramatic influence on contemporary radiology practice. Their impact has extended further with the emergence of Digital Imaging and…
