Null Broadening Beamforming for Passive Sonar Based on Weighted Similarity Vector

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Beamforming technology is very important for passive sonar to detect targets. However, the performance of a beamformer is seriously degraded in practical applications due to the complex and changeable underwater environment.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

WAH‐i: Optimising microphone array geometry for customised localisation accuracy

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate spatial localisation of free‐flying echolocating bats is foundational for resolving fine‐scale flight and echolocation behaviour, prey interception and spatial decision‐making in natural environments. Acoustic localisation using microphone arrays is widely employed for this purpose, yet array geometries in field studies are typically ...

Early results and lessons learned from biomanipulation and chemical restoration of a eutrophic shallow lake

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...
