For all of the praise heaped onto Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 last summer, its clamshell sibling felt a little bit like an afterthought. The company did make some meaningful changes to its hardware, slimming the chassis down by over a millimeter while adding in a larger battery and expanding its cover display to fill the entire panel. While plenty of us have held out hope that this year’s Flip 8 would see the sort of transformation Samsung delivered to its book-style foldable, it’s not sounding too promising so far. more…

arXiv:2603.11872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Translating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data into mechanistic biological hypotheses remains a critical bottleneck, as agentic AI systems lack direct access to transcriptomic representations while expression foundation models remain opaque to natural language. Here we introduce ELISA (Embedding-Linked Interactive Single-cell Agent), an interpretable framework that unifies scGPT expression embeddings with BioBERT-based semantic retrieval and LLM-mediated interpretation for interactive single-cell discovery. An automatic query classifier routes inputs to gene marker scoring, semantic matching, or reciprocal rank fusion pipelines depending on whether the query is a gene signature, natural language concept, or mixture of both. Integrated analytical modules perform pathway activity scoringacross 60+ gene sets, ligand--receptor interaction prediction using 280+ curated pairs, condition-aware comparative analysis, and cell-type

arXiv:2603.11351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In dynamic open-world environments, autonomous agents often encounter novelties that hinder their ability to find plans to achieve their goals. Specifically, traditional symbolic planners fail to generate plans when the robot's planning domain lacks the operators that enable it to interact appropriately with novel objects in the environment. We propose a neuro-symbolic architecture that integrates symbolic planning, reinforcement learning, and a large language model (LLM) to learn how to handle novel objects. In particular, we leverage the common sense reasoning capability of the LLM to identify missing operators, generate plans with the symbolic AI planner, and write reward functions to guide the reinforcement learning agent in learning control policies for newly identified operators. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in operator discovery as well as operator learning in continuous robotic domains.

When Rivian first revealed the R2 in 2024, a lot of the excitement was centered on the starting price of $45,000 - placing it slightly below the current average selling price for a new internal combustion vehicle. Finally, here was a decently sized electric SUV with great design and impressive software that wouldn't require taking out a 7-8 year auto loan. Of course, we all knew that a $45,000 starting price for the base model was aspirational and would take a while to get here - like other automakers, Rivian is prioritizing its pricier trims - and now we have more details about how long it will actually take. Today at SXSW, Rivian reveale … Read the full story at The Verge.

arXiv:2603.08988v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Commercially accessible dexterous robot hands are increasingly prevalent, but many remain difficult to use as scientific instruments. For example, the Inspire RH56DFX hand exposes only uncalibrated proprioceptive information and shows unreliable contact behavior at high speed (up to 1618% force limit overshoot). Furthermore, its underactuated, coupled finger linkages make antipodal grasps non-trivial. We contribute three improvements to the Inspire RH56DFX to transform it from a black-box device to a research tool: (1) hardware characterization (force calibration, latency, and overshoot), (2) a sim2real validated MuJoCo model for analytical width-to-grasp planning, and (3) a hybrid, closed-loop speed-force grasp controller. We validate these components on peg-in-hole insertion, achieving 65% success and outperforming a wrist-force-only baseline of 10% and on 300 grasps across 15 physically diverse objects, achieving 87% success and
