Water scarcity is one of 21st century's most pressing global issues. The anthropogenic pressure and climate change will be the main drivers of freshwater depletion in the coming decades. According to the FAO, the amount of water needed to support all human activities will be 20-30% higher by 2050. A closer look reveals how agriculture is a major contributor to water scarcity, with irrigation accounting for 70% of global water use. In this framework, the development of effective water management approaches is a key solution to turn the tide and change current patterns. Despite that, there still exists a gap in the scientific literature in the development and validation of innovative water management strategies using advanced technologies. This study aims to address this gap by developing a digital model of a real irrigation network able to accurately predict the water distribution across the network at different operating conditions. A living lab was used for the experimental activities, where a low-power wide-area network was used to acquire data from the system. For modeling purposes, the integration of the 1-D and 3-D simulation was leveraged to fluid-dynamically characterize all the components involved. The numerical model resulted to be accurate in predicting both pressure and velocity patterns (determination coefficient higher than 93%). The proposed model could be considered a starting point for the implementation of a digital twin to support agricultural water management in both the design and management of an irrigation network by defining the correct network configuration and detect anomalous conditions.

In recent years, due to the large-scale integration of distributed energy sources in active distribution networks, severe over-voltage issues have emerged. A common solution is to install reactive power compensation devices, but the application scenarios of these devices are limited. With the widespread application of energy storage and electric vehicles in distribution networks, the active power output of energy storage systems and the V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) interaction of electric vehicles not only address issues like peak shaving and valley filling, but also the reactive power and harmonic current output by their grid-connected inverters, when capacity permits, can be used to compensate the voltage quality of the distribution network. Therefore, this paper proposes a power quality management strategy for active distribution networks based on the collaborative optimization of energy storage systems and electric vehicles. This is achieved by establishing an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) model. Additionally, an Immune Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm optimization (ICLPSO) algorithm is used to optimize and determine the reactive power output of energy storage systems and electric vehicles. Finally, taking the voltage issues of the IEEE 162-node distribution network with distributed PV as an example, the effectiveness of the proposed management strategy is verified.

In the development of fifth-generation (5G) networks, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has recently attracted increasing research attention, where UAV-to-UAV (U2U) communication is found to be one of the promising technical trends. In this work, we propose a U2U communication model for the so-called generalized out-of-coverage (OOC) scenario, where the conventional terrestrial cellular network infrastructure is not available and the satellite network access is highly limited. Specifically, we formulate a problem to jointly optimize the system throughput (stP) and the system propulsion energy (SPE), by taking into account the UAVs' positions and travel time durations. To solve this complicated joint optimization problem, we first build the corresponding model and then design a successive convex approximation (SCA) based joint stP and SPE optimization (SJSSO) algorithm as the solution. Simulation results show that the new SJSSO scheme outperforms its counterpart in several aspects, exhibiting a promising potential for supporting future U2U communications in OOC scenarios.

Deployment of multiple robots in real-world scenarios requires simultaneous information exchange from all platforms to ensure effective task performance. The robot's relative position to its peers is an important data needed to predict collision between robots or task distribution. This paper introduces a robust and simple method for achieving cooperative localization among multiple robots, utilizing a single ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor for each platform. Each robot uses a visual-inertial odometry (VIO) system to track its own trajectory. Given the inherent drift associated with VIO systems, we leverage UWB data to estimate and correct this drift, enhancing each robot's localization accuracy. Our approach substantially improves the result compared with other cooperative localization methods and can even correct the VIO ego-motion.

The electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) has been used in various clinical studies and has become a key physiological signal for cochlear implants (CI). This study used four sensing electrodes to record ECAP signals based on the alternating polarity approach. An electrical field imaging (EFI) result based on the finite element method was used to obtain the interface impedance, then ECAP simulation results were computed and compared with a patient's clinical ECAP measurements. Preliminary modeling results show that the interface impedance obtained by this EFI-based technique can improve the simulation accuracy of the ECAP model. The ECAP modeling result will be compared with clinical ECAP measurements to validate the model in the full paper.
