A preprint reports that MILD increased a robot’s foot clearance on softer surfaces and its stride length during an unannounced shift from high to low stiffness. The robot completed 10 forward-and-backward cycles at 1.2 m/s on each of seven terrain types without a reported failure, though independent trial counts and variability were not fully reported.

A preprint evaluating Cypress end-to-end testing on the open-source Conduit RealWorld application reports a large descriptive speed difference against manual execution and lower repair times for a suite using data-cy locators. The study also found that a minority of scenarios were flaky, with instability concentrated in the Favorite Article workflow.

An arXiv preprint describes a real interference-alignment method for an active intelligent reflecting surface and reports a higher simulated sum rate with about a 260-fold speedup over WMMSE. The evidence is limited to a modeled system with synthetic channels and does not establish performance in real networks.

An arXiv preprint tests EAFG, a robot-planning approach that gathers visual evidence before task planning. It reports higher full-recipe completion for underspecified instructions and higher halt rates when a required object was missing, alongside mixed results in explicit tasks.

A formal query-rewriting approach aims to let graph databases handle ontology-mediated questions. Its correctness result is narrower than its practical challenge: some rewrites could not be completed, and many evaluations timed out.

An engineering preprint describes TrustRAG, a blockchain-backed retrieval-and-answer prototype that certifies documents, keeps validator evaluations private and binds results across chains. In computational benchmarks, Groth16 was faster than PLONK for vote-circuit proving, while tally latency stayed near one second across the tested vote loads.

A new arXiv preprint maps the shift in end-to-end autonomous driving from copying low-level controls toward systems built around more structured planning. Its central warning is that prediction accuracy or impressive language reasoning alone cannot establish safe driving.

A preprint describes a three-party secure multi-party computation system for training and running CellCnn on secret-shared single-cell data. Its classification and synthetic AML regression results stayed near the plaintext model on small benchmarks, but the threat model does not cover malicious parties or leakage through released outputs.

In a 33-volunteer study, an interactive 3D graph viewed in virtual reality was compared with a PowerPoint presentation for retrieving linked engineering-model information. The virtual-reality condition took longer, while the other measured outcomes showed no significant differences.

A blockchain-based framework for mobile edge caching reported higher detection accuracy than two cited comparator schemes under 10% noisy feedback. The arXiv preprint also reported higher cache hit ratio and throughput in simulations with feedback incentives, but classification weakened beyond 10% noise and the work was not tested in a deployed network.
