Machine Zygote: Causal Biparental Heredity Before Learning in a Germline--Soma Artificial Agent
Lyes Saad Saoud
Artificial ontogeny, developmental encodings, robot reproduction, and inherited controllers are established research directions, yet a narrower question remains: can a newborn arti…
The Robot Data Factory
Sami Haddadin, Ivan Laptev, Ian Reid +18
Physical AI requires more than increasingly large robot datasets: intelligent robots acquire knowledge through continuous interaction with the physical world. We argue that the def…
The Cost of Becoming: Developmental Encoding Increases Phenotypic Diversity but Reduces Locality and Recombination Robustness in Evolved Robots
Lyes Saad Saoud
Developmental encodings are often motivated by the expectation that a structured genotype-to-phenotype process can improve evolvability, robustness, and adaptation. Yet an encoding…
Energy Vision--Language--Action: A Controlled Multimodal Benchmark for Intent-Conditioned Residential Energy Management
Lyes Saad Saoud, Oualid Doukhi, Ehsan Reihani +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are studied mainly in robotics, where visual observations and language instructions are mapped to physical actions. This paper introduces Energy…
Beyond Dead Reckoning: A Point of View on Camera--DAS--GNSS Continuity in Road Tunnels
Lyes Saad Saoud, Hesham A. Rakha, Mona Jaber +1
Road tunnels remove satellite visibility where connected and automated vehicles still require continuous, attributable, and integrity-bounded positioning. This Point of View argues…
Settling: Equilibrium Inference for Non-Convex Validity Sets
Lyes Saad Saoud
Many learning systems return a single point estimate even when admissible outputs form disconnected or non-convex sets. Under squared loss, an ambiguous conditional distribution ca…
Ground-Truth-Aware Stress Testing of a Closed-Loop Smart-Building Digital Twin Under Sensor Drift and Missing Data
Lyes Saad Saoud
Digital twins are increasingly used for smart-building monitoring and control, yet many evaluations focus on state estimation or fault detection rather than whether sensing errors…
DISCO: Distributed Spectrum Compliance and Orchestration for Scalable IoT Coexistence
Lyes Saad Saoud, Moussa Ayyash
Massive Internet of Things (IoT) deployments increasingly share spectrum with incumbent, licensed, and unlicensed systems under uncertain traffic, fading, mobility, and intermitten…
Integrity-Gated Eco-CACC: Epistemic Admissibility for Cooperative Driving at Signalized Intersections
Lyes Saad Saoud, Moussa Ayyash
Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC) systems rely on accurate localization, signal timing, and interaction awareness to optimize energy consumption at signalized inte…
