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 […]
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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Qiaoling Chen, Shenggui Li, Wei Gao, Peng Sun, Yonggang Wen | Summary: In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited remarkable capabilities, driving advancements in real-world applications. However, training LLMs on increasingly long input sequences imposes significant challenges due to high GPU memory and computational demands. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Cian C. Reeves, Scott K. Cushing, Vojtech Vlcek, , | Summary: Understanding how to control changes in electronic structure and related dynamical renormalizations by external driving fields is the key for understanding ultrafast spectroscopy and applications in electronics. Here we focus on the band-gap’s modulation by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Jialong Xue, Wei Gao, Yu Wang, Chao Ji, Dongdong Zhao | Summary: High-precision tiny object alignment remains a common and critical challenge for humanoid robots in real-world. To address this problem, this paper proposes a vision-based framework for precisely estimating and controlling the relative position between a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Ioannis Mandralis, Reza Nemovi, Alireza Ramezani, Richard M. Murray, Morteza Gharib | Summary: Designing ground-aerial robots is challenging due to the increased actuation requirements which can lead to added weight and reduced locomotion efficiency. Morphobots mitigate this by combining actuators into multi-functional groups and leveraging ground transformation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural materials have even independently evolved to have similar structures to obtain these […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Azmain A. Hossain, Sela Murphy, David S. Catherall, Anthony J. Ardizzi, Austin J. Minnich | Summary: Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Long Cheng, Mengdi Zhao, Yang He, Yu Zhang, Roy Meade | Summary: In recent years, miniaturization and integration of photonic microwave oscillators by optical frequency division approach have witnessed rapid progress.
