Breakthrough progress in vision-based navigation through unknown environments has been achieved by using multimodal large language models (MLLMs). These models can plan a sequence of motions by evalua...
Venture capital outcomes are dominated by a small number of extreme successes, making it difficult to distinguish investor skill from favorable realizations in a highly skewed return distribution. We ...
World action models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising direction for robot policy learning, as they can leverage powerful video backbones to model the future states. However, existing approaches often...
Accurate estimation of aerodynamic state variables such as freestream velocity and angle of attack (AoA) is important for aerodynamic load prediction, flight control, and model validation. This work p...
Driving world models serve as a pivotal technology for autonomous driving by simulating environmental dynamics. However, existing approaches predominantly focus on future scene generation, often overl...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are the digital cornerstone of autonomous driving, yet they suffer from severe network fragmentation in urban environments due to physical obstructions. Unmanned Aer...
Realistic long-horizon productivity work is strongly conditioned on user-specific computer environments, where much of the work context is stored and organized through directory structures and content...
Model predictive control (MPC) with learned world models has emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied control, particularly for its ability to generalize zero-shot when deployed in new environment...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a foundational state estimation problem in robotics in which a robot accurately constructs a map of its environment while also localizing itself within ...
The introduction of invasive species into marine environments is a global crisis, driving significant biodiversity loss. Here, we report the first record of a non-native hermatypic coral in Venezuela,...
Habitat condition and area shape global species distributions, with shallow-water reefs hosting a disproportional share of marine biodiversity. Although reef area is a well-established predictor of ma...
Microplastic (MP) contamination is a notable environmental challenge affecting marine ecosystems. However, its repercussions on the reproductive success of sea turtles remain inadequately elucidated. ...
Today, relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water is melting Thwaites Glacier at the base of its ice shelf and at the grounding zone, contributing to significant ice retreat. Accelerating ice loss has bee...
Microbe-mineral interactions play a crucial role in microbial energy conservation and mineral mobilization within deep-sea hydrothermal vents, yet the specific microorganisms involved remain largely u...
Human influence on Antarctic marine ecosystems is a growing concern, despite limited available information. In this study, we assessed the effects of anthropogenic pollution on free-living nematode co...
Mangroves represent a particularly vulnerable coastal ecosystem to the problem of marine litter. However, research addressing the impact of macroscopic litter on mangrove crabs remains limited. The ai...
Accurate measurement of sea-surface winds is critical for climate science, physical oceanography, and the rapidly expanding offshore wind energy sector. Buoy-based platforms-moored meteorological buoy...
Accurate motion prediction of floating platforms is critical for ensuring operational safety in offshore engineering applications or marine equipment testing. However, the strong nonlinearity and non-...
Linear ultrasonic motors (LUSMs) occupy an important position in the field of high-precision actuation due to their advantages of simple structure, high control accuracy and direct linear motion gener...
