Robodimm: A Physics-Grounded Framework for Automated Actuator Sizing in Scalable Modular Robots

The paper introduces Robodimm, a physics-grounded software framework that automates actuator sizing for scalable modular robots by leveraging Pinocchio and Pink to solve constrained inverse dynamics via a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker formulation, thereby addressing the complexities of coupled joint torques and self-weight effects in closed kinematic chains.

Not Too Short, Not Too Long: How LLM Response Length Shapes People's Critical Thinking in Error Detection

This study reveals that while the correctness of LLM-generated reasoning is the primary driver of user accuracy in critical thinking tasks, medium-length explanations uniquely enhance users' ability to detect errors when the AI's reasoning is incorrect, suggesting that response length plays a nuanced role in shaping human critical evaluation.

Distributed Legal Infrastructure for a Trustworthy Agentic Web

This paper proposes a Distributed Legal Infrastructure (DLI) framework comprising five interlocking layers—ranging from soulbound agent identities to decentralized adjudication—to establish interoperable protocols that ensure accountability, contestability, and rule-of-law principles within the emerging autonomous agentic web.

SoK: Self-Sovereign Digital Identities

This paper presents a comprehensive systematization of knowledge on Self-Sovereign Digital Identities (SSDI) by analyzing 80 sources to identify six major adoption challenges, evaluating 47 academic publications and 12 real-world applications to reveal that self-sovereignty is a spectrum, and outlining future research directions to accelerate the shift from centralized to self-sovereign identity systems.

Empowering Locally Deployable Medical Agent via State Enhanced Logical Skills for FHIR-based Clinical Tasks

This paper introduces SELSM, a training-free framework that enhances locally deployable medical agents by distilling simulated clinical trajectories into entity-agnostic logical rules, thereby significantly improving zero-shot FHIR-based task performance and achieving a 100% completion rate on the MedAgentBench without compromising data privacy.
