Multiobjective Environmental Cleanup with Autonomous Surface Vehicle Fleets Using Multitask Multiagent Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a multitask strategy for plastic cleanup with autonomous surface vehicles, combining exploration and cleaning phases. A two‐headed Deep Q‐Network shared by all agents is traineded via multiobjective reinforcement learning, producing a Pareto front of trade‐offs.

Scan and 3D Print: Magnetic Resonance Imaging‐Guided, Monolithic Desktop Fabrication of Highly Biomimetic Skeletal System of the Human Hand

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a framework to monolithically 3D print highly bioinspired hands, composed of soft and stiff segments, using cost‐effective desktop printers. A magnetic resonance imaging‐informed approach replicates key anatomical features, such as collateral ligaments and volar plates, enabling enhanced functionality and human‐like behavior. This

Fires in rainforests: Quantifying litter bed flammability of cool temperate rainforests in eastern Australia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Rainforests are usually too wet to burn, acting as natural barriers to fire spread and as refuges for biodiversity. However, climate change is increasing the risk of fire incursion into rainforests. Our capacity to manage these impacts is hindered by limited research on rainforest flammability.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...
