Conventional bidirectional conveyance platforms use a flat translating belt or a series of spinning wheels or rollers to apply a shear force to payloads to move them. Wheel/roller-based conveyors in particular cannot double as a worktop when idle, do not support collision-free multi-object manipulation by default, and are not optimized to move objects that are either slippery or pliable—let alone both. This paper introduces a Voxel-Enabled Robotic Assistant (VERA), a network of intelligent table "partitions" whose topologically dynamic worktops enable omnidirectional conveyance; each partition is composed of a 2D array of "quadrants," axisymmetric modules that can be hot-swapped for maintenance or repairs; each quadrant contains a 2D array of "cells," unitary robotic submodules; each cell houses an independently controllable "voxel," the motorized rotary element that conveys an overhead object. The efficacy of a VERA prototype was determined by evaluating waypoint error as a range of payloads were maneuvered between trajectory waypoints. By conveying both pliable and rigid payloads having slippery textures, the faceted voxels outperformed those augmented to mimic the circular-profiled wheels/rollers of competitor systems. VERA also successfully performed collision-free multi-object planar manipulations planned by its pathfinding algorithm. In light of these results, VERA emerges as a promising material handling platform for use in "Future of Work" settings as the need for multi-purpose collaborative industrial robots continues to grow.

Memristors, recognized as the fourth fundamental circuit element, exhibit highly nonlinear dynamic behavior, analog computing capabilities, and significant potential for chaotic systems and complex dynamics. Self-rectifying analog BiFeO 3 (BFO) memristors, with their high on/off ratio, excellent retention, and remarkable endurance, are particularly promising for these applications. In this work, we present the first demonstration of frequency-dependent measurements on BFO memristors. Our results reveal that the on/off ratio of hysteresis in I-V characteristics and the maximum current in the positive bias range significantly decrease with increasing frequency. We formulated a simplified mathematical model of BFO behavior, based on an exponential ionic drift model for the positive bias region and a diffusion/diode-like I-V behavior for the negative bias region, ensuring high simulation speed while achieving substantial agreement with experimental data. By adjusting model parameters to account for higher amplitudes, we achieved improved alignment with experimental data. Future work will focus on refining the model to better accommodate these dynamic processes and further exploring the relationship between applied bias magnitude and device performance, enhancing the predictive dynamical behavior of BFO memristive devices in practical applications.
