Collaborative Visual Localization for Modular Self‐Reconfigurable Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Relative localization in modular self‐reconfigurable robots is challenged by hardware limitations, constrained fields of view, and sensor faults. This paper, based on the SnailBot platform, presents a vision‐based collaborative localization method that combines ArUco markers with learning‐based algorithms to enable robust pose estimation from ...

Benchmarking Data‐Driven Control of Octopus‐Inspired Soft Arms in Underwater Environment

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Underwater soft robots present safe, compliant interaction, yet reproducible control remains scarce. This work presents an open benchmark for octopus‐inspired arms: a smooth, velocity‐diverse data‐collection scheme produces a compact dataset to train a vanilla policy.

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.

Resilient Multimodal Fusion for Robust Vulnerability Exploitability Prediction Under Data Degradation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Secure Fusion‐X harmonizes unstructured NVD descriptions with structured CVSS/CWE/CPE metadata via decision‐level fusion, overcoming the fragility of traditional unimodal models. Automated assessment of software vulnerability exploitability is essential for intelligent cyber defense, yet its effectiveness is often hindered by unstable, delayed, or ...

DyCoDiff: Dynamic Collaborative Diffusion for Text‐Image‐Audio‐to‐Video

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
DyCoDiff enables text, image, and audio conditions to collaborate before temporal video generation. A multimodal condition fusion layer injects gated text‐centric fusion into the temporal branch, while collaborative losses align generated videos with semantic, visual, and dynamic audio cues for rhythm‐sensitive text‐image‐audio‐to‐video synthesis. Text‐

Bronchoscope Tip Localization With Learned Airway Constraints and an Open Source Simulator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
BronchoLoc addresses feature‐poor bronchoscopic imaging by combining monocular video with a preoperative CT graph to estimate 3D camera location. A local tracker identifies candidate branches, while a sequence‐aware global module refines the trajectory. Demonstrating sub‐centimeter accuracy across synthetic and phantom datasets, this framework advances
