arXiv Robotics research summaries for February 18, 2024.

Today's Research Themes (AI-Generated):

• Innovations in tactile feedback enable enhanced haptic interactions on handheld devices using sparse actuator arrays.

• A system called LIMP uses foundation models and temporal logics for robots to verifiably follow complex, long-horizon natural language instructions.

• Autonomous robot-mediated behavior coaching sessions utilize the Tiny Habits method to encourage positive behavior through human-robot dialogue.

• A new online control approach for quadrotors allows efficient navigation through multiple waypoints with time-optimal performance.

• Large language models are integrated with social robots to generate more dynamic and expressive conversational behaviors.
