Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...

Retina‐Inspired Bi‐Based Terahertz Photonic Neuromorphic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined with effective band alignment and substrate engineering, bismuth materials are introduced to form terahertz photonic bio‐inspired devices with picosecond short‐term plasticity to enable multi‐scene visual perception. Thus obtained hardware through the terahertz optical neural network (THz‐ONN) demonstrates high recognition accuracy, providing ...

Can daylight-PDT be performed indoor? [PDF]

Giornale Italiano di Dermatologia e Venereologia, 2018
Natural DayLight-mediated PhotoDynamic Therapy (NDL-PDT) is an efficacious treatment option for thin actinic keratosis that offers advantages over conventional PDT in terms of tolerability and cost. It is now accepted that the minimum criteria required for effective NDL-PDT is a dose of 4 J/cm² with a treatment time of 2 hours and a minimum temperature

Adaptive and Highly Efficient Thermoregulation Based on Multi‐Dimensional Janus Film

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A switchable TiO2/MXene/PDMS Janus membrane enables dual‐mode radiative cooling and solar heating, achieving sub‐ambient cooling of 17.89°C and above‐ambient heating of 13.82°C. Adaptive temperature regulation was demonstrated with a low power integrated autonomous smart curtain system, providing a sustainable and energy‐efficient alternative for ...
