Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Digital Twin‐Based Optimization of Service Availability in LEO Mega Constellations Considering Handover Delays in Open RAN

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As non‐terrestrial networks (NTNs) become integral to future 6G systems, ensuring seamless connectivity and service continuity over low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is essential. This work investigates the impact of open radio access network (RAN) functional splits on handover performance in NTNs, focusing on minimizing service ...

Preprocessing Procedure for Propagation Measurements on MEO Satellite Links

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a software tool designed for preprocessing data from an experimental campaign aimed at characterizing the tropospheric propagation channel using Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. The collected data provide critical insights into the channel in scenarios involving continuous variations in azimuth and elevation, along with

Insights From the Alphasat Aldo Paraboni Experiment at Tito Scalo and Spino d'Adda: Characterizing Scintillation and Rain Attenuation at Ka‐ and Q‐Band Frequencies

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present experimental results on the relationship between rain attenuation and simultaneous scintillation during rain events, based on beacon signal measurements at 19.7 (Ka‐band) and 39.4 GHz (Q‐band) from the geosynchronous Alphasat satellite (25° E), received at two Italian ground stations, Spino d'Adda (42.1° slant path) and Tito Scalo ...

Directive Antenna Clutter Loss in Slant Paths

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the development of a clutter loss model specifically for slant paths involving directive antennas. Conventionally, clutter loss is characterized by using isotropic antennas to facilitate standard link budget calculations via single antenna gain values.

Low Temperature Site‐Specific Pulsed Laser Annealing of MoS2

Small, EarlyView.
The application of laser pulses, of extremely short duration, is investigated as a potential new method to modify the atomic structure of ultrathin 2D materials for use in the creation of future electrical devices. The process is efficient, offering a site‐specific functionality, where regions of an electronic device that only requires annealing is ...

Unified Steep‐Slope Switching and Non‐Volatile Memory in a Complementarily Stabilized van der Waals Ferroelectric Transistor

Small, EarlyView.
We present a van der Waals FeNC‐FET that simultaneously achieves sub‐60 mV/dec steep switching and non‐volatile memory within a single transistor. A CIPS/h‐BN/α‐In2Se3 bi‐ferroelectric gate stack enables a stabilized negative‐capacitance state in FE1 while maintaining the bistable polarization of FE2.

Unusual vertical oscillations of a radiosonde

Weather, EarlyView.
In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.
