Majority‐Voting Overlapping Method for Error Correction in DNA Data Storage
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.We propose an overlapping‐based majority‐voting method for DNA data storage error correction. By aligning multiple reads and choosing the most frequent base per position, it suppresses substitution errors without prior models. Validated on synthetic and real sequencing data, it achieves high‐fidelity, scalable, and cost‐effective reconstruction ...

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.
