Publication: DRESS: Distributed Robotic Enhanced Soft System for Non-Uniform Object Transportation
22 May 2026
In this paper, EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol propose combining the advantages of soft and swarm robotics inside a unified system.
Publication: End-to-End Learning of Soft-Robot Dynamics from Event-Based Camera Streams
22 May 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the Delft University of Technology turn to event-based cameras, which provide asynchronous, high-frequency visual information better suited to capturing dynamic deformations.
Publication: Standard vs. Modular Sampling: Best Practices for Reliable LLM Unlearning
01 April 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa systematically evaluate the efficacy and stability of the de facto standards of conventional LLM Unlearning.
Publication: A Scalable, Open and Remote Laboratory Architecture for Swarm Robotics Experimentation and Education
01 April 2026
In this paper, EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol present ATRIZ, a remote and open laboratory for swarm robotics.
Publication: Minimum Complexity Memristive-Friendly Echo State Network
01 April 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa propose a novel Memristive-Friendly Echo State Network (MF-ESN) architecture, named MF-RingESN.
Publication: Adapting language models with continual learning for temporal drifts
28 March 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa address the challenge of keeping LLMs up to date with factual knowledge (adaptation) while avoiding forgetting the relevant existing knowledge.
Publication: Mental Models in Human-AI Interaction: Systematic Review of Empirical Methodologies and Guidelines
22 March 2026
In this work, EMERGE partners from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich systematically review 88 empirical studies that elicit humans’ mental models of AI systems.
Publication: Evaluating Online Moderation Via LLM-Powered Counterfactual Simulations
14 March 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa designed a LLM-powered simulator of Online Social Networks conversations enabling a parallel, counterfactual simulation where toxic behavior is influenced by moderation interventions, keeping all else equal.
Publication: Covert neural and autonomic signatures of shared perception
17 February 2026
In this study, EMERGE partners from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich tested whether awareness that a visual stimulus is simultaneously available to another person, without interaction, modulates behavioral performance and neurophysiological signatures of perceptual decision-making.
