Plug-and-Play Homeostatic Spark: Zero-Cost Acceleration for SNN Training Across Paradigms
Rui Chen, Xingyu Chen, Yaoqing Hu +3
Spiking neural networks offer event driven computation, sparse activation, and hardware efficiency, yet training often converges slowly and lacks stability. We present Adaptive Hom…
Bioinspired underwater soft robots: from biology to robotics and back
Lei Li, Boyang Qin, Wenzhuo Gao +7
The ocean vast unexplored regions and diverse soft-bodied marine organisms have spurred interest in bio-inspired underwater soft robotics. Recent advances have enabled new capabili…
LET-US: Long Event-Text Understanding of Scenes
Rui Chen, Xingyu Chen, Shaoan Wang +2
Event cameras output event streams as sparse, asynchronous data with microsecond-level temporal resolution, enabling visual perception with low latency and a high dynamic range. Wh…
A Novel ViDAR Device With Visual Inertial Encoder Odometry and Reinforcement Learning-Based Active SLAM Method
Zhanhua Xin, Zhihao Wang, Shenghao Zhang +7
In the field of multi-sensor fusion for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), monocular cameras and IMUs are widely used to build simple and effective visual-inertial syste…
A Novel Underwater Vehicle With Orientation Adjustable Thrusters: Design and Adaptive Tracking Control
Yifei Wang, Shihan Kong, Zhanhua Xin +3
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are essential for marine exploration and research. However, conventional designs often struggle with limited maneuverability in complex, dynam…
