Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved significant advances in integrating visual and linguistic information, yet their ability to reason about complex and real-world scenarios remains limited. Existing benchmarks are usually constructed in a task-oriented manner, without a guarantee…
Wearable assistive devices that monitor muscle fatigue reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, enhance rehabilitation outcomes, and extend operational time by optimizing the power consumption of the device. This work proposes a muscle fatigue-aware controller (MFAC) for a semi-rig…
Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training across decentralized data, but faces key challenges of bidirectional communication overhead and client-side data heterogeneity. To address communication costs while embracing data heterogeneity, we propose pFed1BS, a novel personalized federate
Zero-shot Relation Triplet Extraction (ZeroRTE) is a challenging yet valuable task that extracts relation triplets from unstructured texts for new relation types, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for data labeling. With the advancement of the zero-shot capabilities of large language…
General and legal domain LLMs have demonstrated strong performance in various tasks of LegalAI. However, their current evaluations lack alignment with the fundamental logic of legal reasoning, the legal syllogism. This hinders trust and understanding from legal experts. To bridge this gap, we introd…
This work introduces a novel parallel elastic actuation principle designed to provide torque compensation for legged robots. Unlike existing solutions, the proposed concept leverages a nitrogen N<inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
Ground reaction force information, which includes the location of the center of pressure (COP) and vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), has various applications, such as in the gait assessment of patients post-injury or in the control of robot prostheses and exoskeleton devices. At the beginning o
In this work, we introduce the principle, design and mechatronics of Exo-Muscle, a novel assistive device for the knee joint. Different from the existing systems based on rigid exoskeleton structures or soft-tendon driven approaches, the proposed device leverages a new semi-rigid principle that expl
