Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) envisages a sustainable, safe, convenient, and affordable air transport system. In socio-technical transition of AAM, there are a number of trade-offs in ecosystem that need to be studied. Three perspectives on economic feasibility are explored: first, based on history of VTOL services and value of time estimates, we discuss whether AAM can provide customers with competitive mobility services; second, what are the stakeholders’ insights on the deployment of AAM; last, the experience in the development of autonomous driving technology, such as parallel intelligence, can inform future AAM research.

The creation of a metric-semantic map, which encodes human-prior knowledge, represents a high-level abstraction of environments. However, constructing such a map poses challenges related to the fusion of multi-modal sensor data, the attainment of real-time mapping performance, and the preservation of structural and semantic information consistency. In this paper, we introduce an online metric-semantic mapping system that utilizes LiDAR-Visual-Inertial sensing to generate a global metric-semantic mesh map of large-scale outdoor environments. Leveraging GPU acceleration, our mapping process achieves exceptional speed, with frame processing taking less than 7ms, regardless of scenario scale. Furthermore, we seamlessly integrate the resultant map into a real-world navigation system, enabling metric-semantic-based terrain assessment and autonomous point-to-point navigation within a campus environment. Through extensive experiments conducted on both publicly available and self-collected datasets comprising 24 sequences, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our mapping and navigation methodologies. Code has been publicly released: https://***/gogojjh/cobra. Note to Practitioners—This paper tackles the challenge of autonomous navigation for mobile robots in complex, unstructured environments with rich semantic elements. Traditional navigation relies on geometric analysis and manual annotations, struggling to differentiate similar structures like roads and sidewalks. We propose an online mapping system that creates a global metric-semantic mesh map for large-scale outdoor environments, utilizing GPU acceleration for speed and overcoming the limitations of existing real-time semantic mapping methods, which are generally confined to indoor settings. Our map integrates into a real-world navigation system, proven effective in localization and terrain assessment through experiments with both public and proprietary datasets. Future work will focus on integrating kernel-based

Neural Radiance Fields have shown great potential to synthesize novel views with only a few discrete image observations of the world. However, the requirement of accurate camera parameters to learn scene representations limits its further application. In this paper, we present adaptive positional encoding (APE) for bundle-adjusting neural radiance fields to reconstruct the neural radiance fields from unknown camera poses (or even intrinsics). Inspired by Fourier series regression, we investigate its relationship with the positional encoding method and therefore propose APE where all frequency bands are trainable. Furthermore, we introduce period-activated multilayer perceptrons (PMLPs) to construct the implicit network for the high-order scene representations and fine-grained gradients during backpropagation. Experimental results on public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method with APE and PMLPs can outperform the state-of-the-art methods in accurate camera poses and high-fidelity view synthesis.

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) safety has always been a critical reason for hindering the development of magneticenabled wireless power transfer technology. People focus on the actual received energy at charging devices while paying attention to their health. Thus, we study this significant problem in this paper, and propose a universal safety guaranteed power-delivered-to-load (PDL) maximization scheme (called SafeGuard). Technically, we first utilize the off-the-shelf electromagnetic simulator to perform the EMR distribution analysis to ensure the universality of the method. Then, we innovatively introduce the concept of multiple importance sampling for achieving efficient EMR safety constraint extraction. Finally, we treat the proposed optimization problem as an optimal boundary point search problem from the perspective of space geometry, and devise a brand-new grid-based multi-constraint parallel processing algorithm to efficiently solve it. We implement a system prototype for SafeGuard, and conduct extensive experiments to evaluate it. The results indicate that our SafeGuard can obviously improve the achieved PDL by up to 1.75× compared with the state-of-the-art baseline while guaranteeing EMR safety. Furthermore, SafeGuard can accelerate the solution process by 29.12× compared with the traditional numerical method to satisfy the fast optimization requirement of wireless charging systems.
A major barrier to the commercialization of pattern recognition (PR)-based myoelectric prostheses is the lack of robustness to confounding factors such as electrode shift which has been lingering for years. To overcom...
