Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

High‐Altitude Lakes Have Become Emerging Carbon Sinks on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
Earth's FutureThe lack of seasonal observations of CO2 in lakes at altitude gradients over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) limits the accurate assessment of CO2 fluxes in lakes and the understanding of their variation mechanisms. We carried out seasonal observation of

Enhancing Post-Disaster Damage Detection and Recovery Monitoring by Addressing Class Imbalance in Satellite Imagery Using Enhanced Super-Resolution GANs (ESRGAN) [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesAccess to very high-resolution (HR) satellite imagery is often limited, delayed, or cost-prohibitive, restricting accurate and timely post-disaster damage detection and recovery monitoring (PDDRM). Additionally, class imbalance in disaster classification
