NMPC-based Unified Posture Manipulation and Thrust Vectoring for Fault Recovery

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Adarsh Salagame, Shashwat Pandya, Ioannis Mandralis, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani | Summary: Multi-rotors face significant risks, as actuator failures at high altitudes can easily result in a crash and the robot’s destruction. Therefore, rapid fault recovery in the event of an actuator failure is necessary for the […]

Learning Orientation Field for OSM-Guided Autonomous Navigation

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuming Huang, Wei Gao, Zhiyuan Zhang, Maani Ghaffari, Dezhen Song | Summary: OpenStreetMap (OSM) has gained popularity recently in autonomous navigation due to its public accessibility, lower maintenance costs, and broader geographical coverage. However, existing methods often struggle with noisy OSM data and incomplete sensor observations, leading […]

Deciphering the Origins of the Elements Through Galactic Archeology

Posted by dbos March 23, 2025March 31, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Khalil Farouqi, Anna Frebel, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, , | Summary: Low-metallicity stars preserve the signatures of the first stellar nucleosynthesis events in the Galaxy, as their surface abundances reflect the composition of the interstellar medium from which they were born. Aside from primordial Big Bang nucleosynthesis, massive stars, […]

Predicting performance-related properties of refrigerant based on tailored small-molecule functional group contribution

Posted by dbos March 23, 2025March 31, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Peilin Cao, Ying Geng, Nan Feng, Xiang Zhang, Zhiwen Qi | Summary: As current group contribution (GC) methods are mostly proposed for a wide size-range of molecules, applying them to property prediction of small refrigerant molecules could lead to unacceptable errors. In this sense, for the design […]

Heterozygosity at a conserved candidate sex determination locus is associated with female development in the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi)

Posted by dbos March 22, 2025March 31, 2025Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Kip D Lacy, Jina Lee, Kathryn Rozen-Gagnon, Wei Wang, Thomas S Carroll and Daniel J C Kronauer | Summary: Sex determination is a developmental switch that triggers sex-specific developmental programs. This switch is flipped by the expression of genes that promote male- or female-specific development. Many lineages have evolved […]
