Urban AI Governance Must Embed Legal Reasonableness for Democratic and Sustainable Cities
This position paper argues that embedding the legal "reasonable person" standard in municipal AI systems is essential for democratic and sustainable urban governance. As cities increasingly deploy artificial intelligence (AI) systems, concerns around equity, accountability, and normative legitimacy are growing. This paper introduces the Urban Reasonableness Layer (URL), a conceptual framework that adapts the legal "reasonable person" standard for supervisory oversight in municipal AI systems, i…

Vechten of meebewegen. Wat moet Nederland met het water?
Eeuwenlang waande Nederland zich onaantastbaar in de strijd tegen het water. Maar hevige regenbuien en de stijgende zeespiegel brengen daar verandering in. Is de identiteit van overwinnaar inmiddels achterhaald?

LLM-RIMSA: Large Language Models driven Reconfigurable Intelligent Metasurface Antenna Systems
The evolution of 6G networks demands ultra-massive connectivity and intelligent radio environments, yet existing reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technologies face critical limitations in hardware efficiency, dynamic control, and scalability. This paper introduces LLM-RIMSA, a transformative framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) with a novel reconfigurable intelligent metasurface antenna (RIMSA) architecture to address these challenges. Unlike conventional RIS designs, …

Hierarchical Planning and Scheduling for Reconfigurable Multi-Robot Disassembly Systems under Structural Constraints
This study presents a system integration approach for planning schedules, sequences, tasks, and motions for reconfigurable robots to automatically disassemble constrained structures in a non-destructive manner. Such systems must adapt their configuration and coordination to the target structure, but the large and complex search space makes them prone to local optima. To address this, we integrate multiple robot arms equipped with different types of tools, together with a rotary stage, into a re…
