Two active research threads: 1) Resonant-method automated core-loss measurement systems for sub‑MHz magnetics that could speed magnetics characterization for EV, data-center, and industrial power applications; 2) Physics-guided Transformer approaches for estimating object mass and friction from a single robotic push with potential implications for industrial robotics OEMs and robotics-AI platforms.
PhyPush proposes physics-guided Transformers to estimate object mass and friction from a single robotic push using only standard arm kinematics (no force/torque, tactile, or motion-capture). If it transfers into commercial robot stacks, it can reduce sensor BOM and integration friction while improving manipulation robustness (bin picking, depalletizing, kitting). Public-market read-through is mainly to industrial robotics OEMs and robotics-AI compute/software platforms; potential negative read-t
Paper proposes a fully automated resonant core-loss measurement setup for sub‑MHz magnetics using digitally controlled switched-capacitor sequences plus onboard signal processing, replacing manual tuning + heavy FFT workflows. If commercialized, it reduces magnetics characterization time (1000+ points/20s) and labor, potentially accelerating development cycles for high‑frequency power magnetics used in EV/inverter, data-center/AI power, and industrial supplies. Near-term investability hinges on
Current stance
Current recommendation: buy. Rationale centers on potential beneficiary exposures if automated core-loss characterization and physics-guided manipulation features are adopted by mainstream industrial and test-equipment platforms.
