A Fast Path-Planning Method for Continuous Harvesting of Table-Top Grown Strawberries [PDF]
Continuous harvesting and storage of multiple fruits in a single operation allow robots to significantly reduce the travel distance required for repetitive back-and-forth movements. Traditional collision-free path planning algorithms, such as Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree (RRT) and A-star (A), often fail to meet the demands of efficient continuous ...

On the Relentless Pursuit of an Oral Insulin Delivery System: How Far is Too Far?
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.Injectable insulin preparations have far outpaced oral ones by virtue of adequate bioavailability and are driven by innovations, including insulin pumps, real‐time blood glucose monitoring, and artificial intelligence. In contrast, oral insulin delivery systems, including nanomedicines, continue to struggle and lag due to varied reasons.

Random Fruits on the Zielonka Tree [PDF]
26th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer
Science - STACS 2009 (2009) 541-552, 2009 Stochastic games are a natural model for the synthesis of controllers confronted to adversarial and/or random actions. In particular, $\omega$-regular games of infinite length can represent reactive systems which are not expected to reach a correct state, but rather to handle a continuous stream of events.
