Obstacle-Avoidance Path Planning for a Basket-Carrying Robotic Arm Based on an Improved APF-RRT Algorithm

This paper proposes an improved APF-RRT algorithm that integrates power-law decay repulsive gains, a three-level escape mechanism, and adaptive strategies to significantly enhance path planning efficiency, smoothness, and obstacle avoidance for basket-carrying robotic arms in complex agricultural environments.

Multi-Agent LLM Collaborative Reasoning and Task Planning for Complex Task Solving

This paper proposes a multi-agent LLM framework featuring distinct planner, executor, and verifier roles operating on a dependency-aware task graph with calibrated parameters and shared-memory mechanisms, which significantly outperforms single-agent baselines in complex task solving by improving completion rates, accuracy, and factual consistency while reducing tool errors.

Stratum-eval: A Normative-First Evaluation Framework for Clinical Machine Learning

The paper introduces Stratum-eval, a normative-first evaluation framework for clinical machine learning that mandates a validated Normative Specification Document defining use cases, fairness trade-offs, and stakeholder boundaries before computing any performance metrics, thereby ensuring ethical and regulatory alignment is established prior to model deployment.

Secure Peer-to-Peer Entropy Generatorfor Fairness in Blockchain-Based Games

This paper proposes and validates a decentralized, peer-to-peer entropy generator that utilizes a commit-reveal protocol and hybrid aggregation to provide statistically uniform, low-cost, and attack-resistant randomness for blockchain-based games, outperforming centralized oracles like Chainlink VRF in both economic efficiency and security.
