Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”

A middle infrared hyperspectral imaging based on diffraction grating and metalens by Gong, Tu

“…The diffraction grating style is improved from blazed grating by changing the ladder or cylindrical surfaces to several bars. This design can simplify the fabrication process and hence reduce the cost. 0.457 is the highest transmission achieved for germanium material when the period is 2.82 μm and the height is 1.36 μm. …”
