Terrestrial Cyborg Insects for Real‐Life Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reviews the development of terrestrial cyborg insects from their emergence in 1997 to mid‐2025, examining three key aspects: locomotion control methods, associated challenges with proposed solutions, and practical applications. Framing these biohybrid systems as insect‐scale mobile robots, the review provides foundational insights for new ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning Approaches for Sensor Data Collection by a Swarm of UAVs

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents four decentralized reinforcement learning algorithms for autonomous data harvesting and investigates how collaboration improves collection efficiency. It also presents strategies to minimize training times by improving model flexibility, enabling algorithms to operate with varying number of agents and sensors.

Optical Flow Enables Hand Tracking With EyeGlove Low‐Cost Cameras in Confined Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A cost‐effective (<£150) hand‐wearable stereo vision system, EyeGlove, is proposed to support visual inspection in confined environments. The system integrates disjointed low‐cost cameras to enable dexterous camera manipulation and wearable display unit for real‐time interaction.

“It Is Much Safer to Be Sparse than Connected”: Safe Control of Robotic Swarm Density Dynamics with PDE Optimization with State Constraints

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.
