Chalcogen Alloy‐Engineered Te2Se/Si Heterojunctions for Low‐Noise Complementary Metal‐Oxide Semiconductor‐Compatible Short‐Wave Infrared Imaging

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A Te2Se/Si heterojunction designed through atomistic simulations reduces oxide‐related traps, dark current, and noise compared with pure tellurium devices. This CMOS‐compatible platform enables short‐wave infrared detection and high‐contrast imaging in a 14 × 14 array, highlighting a scalable strategy for robust, low‐noise SWIR photodetectors and image

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
