From Swarm to Individual: Emergent Individuality in Light‐Mediated Robot Collectives
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Can individuality emerge from a swarm? Using nominally homogeneous phototactic robots, we show that collective light conditions reorganize robot‐level behavioral profiles. Global illumination amplifies persistent differences in state occupancy, while robot‐mounted local light cues reduce fixed differentiation and favor transient high‐switching profiles.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The phase discontinuity problem—where the cyclic nature of phase angles causes catastrophic errors near the ±π boundary—is a fundamental obstacle in learning‐based reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) optimization. A phase‐aware hybrid CNN–LSTM framework resolves this by decomposing phase predictions into sine–cosine components, mapping circular ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A scalable distributed observer framework for LiDAR sensor networks is presented for robust tracking and pose estimation of mobile robots. By combining adaptable 3D detection, clustering‐based communication reduction, and intermittent inertial fusion, accurate and efficient estimation is achieved under occlusions and sensing constraints, with formally ...

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.
