Adaptive Macroscopic Ensemble Allocation for Robot Teams Monitoring Spatiotemporal Processes
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We propose an online, environment feedback‐driven macroscopic ensemble approach to adapt robot team task allocation in spatiotemporal environments by controlling robot populations rather than assigning individual robots, all while maintaining robust team performance even for small teams. Our simulation and experimental results show better or comparable

Fiscal Decentralization in Centralized States : The Case of Central Asia [PDF]
The resource-based Central Asian countries Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan constitute a special case for fiscal decentralization. Political and administrative centralization is accompanied by the centralized administration of resource rents and ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This paper proposes a novel control framework to ensure safety of a robotic swarm. A feedback optimization controller is capable of driving the swarm toward a target density while keeping risk‐zone exposure below a safety threshold. Theory and experiments show how safety is more effectively achieved for sparsely connected swarms.

What is in it for the poor? Evidence from fiscal decentralization in Vietnam [PDF]
Like other developing countries, Vietnam has attempted to push for greater fiscal decentralization in the hope of a more efficient delivery of social services to targeted citizens. The fiscal decentralization initiative is encouraging and merits pursuit,

MusicSwarm: Biologically Inspired Intelligence for Music Composition
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Biologically inspired swarms of frozen foundation models self‐organize to compose complex music without fine‐tuning. By coordinating through stigmergic signals, decentralized agents dynamically evolve specialized roles and adapt to solve complex tasks.

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 ...

Photocatalytic Transfer Hydrogenation Using Plastic Hydrolysates as Hydrogen Donor
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Plastic waste is transformed into functional amines via solar‐driven transfer hydrogenation. Soluble monomers from acid hydrolysis of waste polymers serve as a hydrogen (electron/proton)donors in the selective reduction of nitroarenes using a visible light active photocatalyst consisting of cobalt promoted molybdenum disulfide integrated in cyanamide ...
