Distributed State Estimation for Mobile Robots in LiDAR Sensor Networks With Intermittent Inertial Measurements

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Towards Human‐Centered Intelligent Inhabitable Spaces: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review introduces Robot‐Rooms as a new category of architectural‐scale robots that do not operate within a space but actively form and reconfigure the space around their occupants. Drawing from robotics, HCI, architecture, and the arts, an interdisciplinary framework is proposed that maps the enabling technologies and integration challenges ...

Fundamentals, Advances, and Applications of Electrospun Nanofibrous 3D Materials

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional electrospun nanofibrous systems offer unique properties and microenvironments. These properties are determined by the fabrication strategies employed and can be adjusted by the incorporation of functional additives to achieve multifunctionality for specific applications. The applications range from the biomedical to the environmental,

A Decision‐Making Model for Implementing Green Technology in Sustainable Building Projects

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green technology (GT) adoption is pivotal for reconciling environmental stewardship with economic viability in the built environment, particularly in resource‐constrained emerging economies. However, empirical evidence on how specific GT drivers actively mitigate adoption barriers remains scarce.
