Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Suspendable and Scalable Ultrasound‐Actuated ZnO‐Nanosheet‐Based Piezoelectric Microdevices for Wireless Electrical Stimulation of Cells

Small, EarlyView.
Silicon microtechnology enables the scalable fabrication of cytocompatible microdevices for wireless electrical stimulation. Microdevices smaller than a cell allow accurate interaction with single cells. By integrating piezoelectric nanostructures that can be actuated by ultrasound within the biomedical range, remote electrical cell stimulation is ...
