Robotic Hand‐Arm Coordinated Skill Learning for Tool Manipulation Tasks

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the specific scenario of tool manipulation and presents a novel framework enabling robots to acquire tool manipulation skills through learning from human demonstrations. While there have been numerous studies on robotic manipulation skill learning, most of them fail to fully leverage the combined advantages of coordinated

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric
