Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

The control efficacy of a novel laser pulse system operating at 1940 nm was tested. The new system allows effective control of young weeds with 1.5 J. Targeting the plant stem is 53‐fold more energy‐efficient than the meristem. Species morphology and beam diameter significantly influence weed control efficacy. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluates a

Hybrid physics–data‐driven modeling for sea ice thermodynamics and transfer learning
Icepack–NN, a machine‐learning‐based hybrid version of the sea‐ice column model Icepack, is developed to correct state‐dependent forecast errors arising from misspecified snow thermodynamics, using neural networks applied online within the physical model.

Not All Missing Data are Equal: Choosing the Right Imputation Method for Binary Datasets
ABSTRACT Missing binary predictors are common in reliability, quality control, and industrial decision systems, yet imputation methods are often chosen by convenience rather than evidence. We conduct a Monte Carlo study comparing mode substitution, sequential hot‐deck, missForest, MICE, and KNN with three neighbourhood sizes under MCAR, MAR, and MNAR ...

A New Social Life Cycle Assessment Framework: An AI‐Driven Optimization Approach and Application
ABSTRACT Social life cycle assessment (SLCA) has increasingly been acknowledged as a tool for assessing the societal impacts of services and products. However, the fragmented nature of current approaches makes it difficult to compare this concept and its practical applications.

Model‐Based Cybersecurity: Automating Common Vulnerabilities Reporting
ABSTRACT The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program's mission is to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. A cybersecurity practitioner who suspects a software, hardware, or service vulnerability, can initiate a CVE‐ID Requesting process, as defined by MITRE.

Boosting Embodied Visual Localisation Through Multi‐Granular Semantics and Multi‐Robot Consensus
ABSTRACT Achieving high accuracy and synergy remains extremely difficult for multi‐robot embodied visual localisation, which suffers from persistent real‐world challenges such as viewpoint ambiguity, appearance variation and dynamic occlusion. Conventional optimisation‐based methods often lead to incorrect feature matching without domain adaptation ...
