Adaptive Autonomy in Microrobot Motion Control via Deep Reinforcement Learning and Path Planning Synergy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a data‐driven framework that combines deep reinforcement learning with classical path planning to achieve adaptive microrobot navigation. By training a surrogate neural network to emulate microrobot dynamics, the approach improves learning efficiency, reduces training time, and enables robust real‐time obstacle avoidance in ...

Application of digital terrain data to quantify and reduce the topographic effect on LANDSAT data [PDF]

open access: yes
Integration of LANDSAT multispectral scanner (MSS) data with 30 m U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) digital terrain data was undertaken to quantify and reduce the topographic effect on imagery of a forested mountain ridge test site in central Pennsylvania ...

Use of plan curvature variations for the identification of ridges and channels on DEM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper proposes novel improvements in the traditional algorithms for the identification of ridge and channel (also called ravines) topographic features on raster digital elevation models (DEMs). The overall methodology consists of two main steps: (1)

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Context-based urban terrain reconstruction from uav-videos for geoinformation applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Urban terrain reconstruction has many applications in areas of civil engineering, urban planning, surveillance and defense research. Therefore the needs of covering ad-hoc demand and performing a close-range urban terrain reconstruction with miniaturized

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...
