The development of intelligent and diversified ser vices in urban rail transit (URT) has resulted in an increasing de mand for high-rate communication between vehicles and ground equipment. However, e…
We develop a wildfire simulation model that evolves the temperature scalar field using an energy balance equation accounting for heat generation, transport, and loss. For these equations, we develop q…
Satellite constellation design requires optimizing orbital parameters across multiple satellites to maximize mission specific metrics. For many types of mission, it is desirable to maximize coverage a…
Autonomous robots operating in natural karstic caves face perception and navigation challenges that are qualitatively distinct from those encountered in mines or tunnels: irregular geometry, reflectiv…
Wildfires pose an increasing threat to the safety and reliability of power systems, particularly in distribution networks located in fire-prone regions. To mitigate ignition risk from electrical infra…
As robots increasingly enter the workforce, human-robot interaction (HRI) must address how implicit social biases influence user preferences. This paper investigates how users rationalize their select…
This paper presents UPV_RIR_DB, a structured database of measured room impulse responses (RIRs) designed to provide acoustic data with explicit spatial metadata and traceable acquisition parameters. T…
Miniaturised soft pneumatic actuators are crucial for robotic intervention within highly constrained anatomical pathways. This work presents the design and validation of a fibre-reinforced soft actuat…
Emergency stop (E-stop) mechanisms are the de facto standard for robot safety. However, for humanoid robots, abruptly cutting power can itself cause catastrophic failures; instead, an emergency stop m…
The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) has shown strong optimization ability but still suffers from premature convergence and weak search diversity. To address these issues, this paper proposes an enh…
With the rapid advancement of Web 3.0 technologies, public blockchain platforms are witnessing the emergence of novel services designed to enhance user privacy and anonymity. However, the powerful unt…
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has experienced significant advancements in recent years and has been widely used in many fields. In DRL-based robotic policy learning, however, current de facto poli…
We introduce a task-relative taxonomy of actuator inputs for nonlinear systems within the input-output feedback-linearization framework. Given a flat output specifying the task, inputs are classified …
Embodied navigation agents powered by large language models have shown strong performance on individual tasks but struggle to continually acquire new navigation skills, which suffer from catastrophic …
Fr\'echet Audio Distance (FAD) is the de facto standard for evaluating text-to-audio generation, yet its scores depend on the underlying encoder's embedding space. An encoder's training task dictates …
Despite the success of deep learning in dermoscopy image analysis, its inherent black-box nature hinders clinical trust, motivating the use of prototypical networks for case-based visual transparency.…
Quadrupedal wheeled-legged robots combine the advantages of legged and wheeled locomotion to achieve superior mobility, but executing dynamic jumps remains a significant challenge due to the additiona…
J. B. Fourier in his \emph{Th\'{e}orie Analytique de la Chaleur} of 1822 introduced, amongst other things, two ideas that have made a fundamental impact in fields as diverse as Mathematical Physics, E…
Robust and accurate perception of dynamic objects and map elements is crucial for autonomous vehicles performing safe navigation in complex traffic scenarios. While vision-only methods have become the…
Robotic middleware serves as the foundational infrastructure, enabling complex robotic systems to operate in a coordinated and modular manner. In data-intensive robotic applications, especially in ind…
