Hyperspectral image (HSI) and SAR/LiDAR data offer complementary spectral and structural information for land-cover classification. However, their effective fusion remains challenging due to two major…
Covering one third of Earth's land surface, forests are vital to global biodiversity, climate regulation, and human well-being. In Europe, forests and woodlands reach approximately 40% of land area, a…
Just Recognizable Difference (JRD) boosts coding efficiency for machine vision through visibility threshold modeling, but is currently limited to a single-task scenario. To address this issue, we prop…
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is an attractive tool for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, where online exploration is costly and raises safety concerns. In terrain-aware UAV relaying, agent…
This paper extends the Acemoglu-Restrepo task exposure framework to address the labor market effects of agentic artificial intelligence systems: autonomous AI agents capable of completing entire occup…
Underwater robotic grasping is difficult due to degraded, highly variable imagery and the expense of collecting diverse underwater demonstrations. We introduce a system that (i) autonomously collects …
Multi-modal Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) analysis faces significant computational challenges for live land monitoring applications. While Transformer architectures excel at capturing temporal de…
Agrivoltaic systems--photovoltaic (PV) panels installed above agricultural land--have emerged as a promising dual-use solution to address competing land demands for food and energy production. In this…
In aging-in-place contexts, small difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) can accumulate, affecting well-being through fatigue, anxiety, reduced autonomy, and safety risks. This position pape…
Motion planning through narrow passages remains a core challenge: sampling-based planners rarely place samples inside these narrow but critical regions, and even when samples land inside a passage, th…
Accurate path loss prediction is crucial for wireless network planning and optimization in suburban environments with complex terrain variation and diverse land cover. This paper proposes a model assi…
We present a complete infrastructure-less magneto-inductive (MI) localization system enabling a lightweight UAV to autonomously hover, track, and land with centimeter precision on a mobile quadruped r…
Hopping robots often lose balance on slopes because the tilted ground creates unwanted rotation at landing. This work analyzes that effect using a simple spring mass model and identifies how slope ind…
Autonomous robotic systems are increasingly deployed for mapping, monitoring, and inspection in complex and unstructured environments. However, most existing path planning approaches remain domain-spe…
In flood disaster rescue scenarios, partially submerged buildings prevent aerial robots from accessing lower levels, limiting mission effectiveness. To address this challenge, this paper presents Wuko…
Modern societal challenges, such as climate change, urbanization, and water resource management, demand integrated, multi-discipline, multi-problem approaches to frame and address their complexity. Un…
Regional watersheds are complex systems of systems encompassing hydrology, land-use decision-making, estuarine ecological feedbacks, and overlapping governance jurisdictions. Their effective managemen…
Amphibious robots, operating seamlessly across land and water, are advancing applications in conservation, disaster response, and defense. Their performance depends on locomotion mechanisms, actuation…
Speech enhancement performance degrades significantly in noisy environments, limiting the deployment of speech-controlled technologies in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants. Existing sp…
Evaluating perceived video quality is essential for ensuring high Quality of Experience (QoE) in modern streaming applications. While existing subjective datasets and Video Quality Metrics (VQMs) cove…
