In EdgeAI embedded devices that exploit reinforcement learning (RL), it is essential to reduce the number of actions taken by the agent in the real world and minimize the compute-intensive policies learning process. Convolutional autoencoders (AEs) has demonstrated great improvement for speeding up the policy learning time when attached to the RL agent, by compressing the high dimensional input data into a small latent representation for feeding the RL agent. Despite reducing the policy learning time, AE adds a significant computational and memory complexity to the model which contributes to the increase in the total computation and the model size. In this article, we propose a model for speeding up the policy learning process of RL agent with the use of AE neural networks, which engages binary and ternary precision to address the high complexity overhead without deteriorating the policy that an RL agent learns. Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) and Ternary Neural Networks (TNNs) compress weights into 1 and 2 bits representations, which result in significant compression of the model size and memory as well as simplifying multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations. We evaluate the performance of our model in three RL environments including DonkeyCar, Miniworld sidewalk, and Miniworld Object Pickup, which emulate various real-world applications with different levels of complexity. With proper hyperparameter optimization and architecture exploration, TNN models achieve near the same average reward, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) performance as the full-precision model while reducing the model size by 10 × compared to full-precision and 3 × compared to BNNs. However, in BNN models the average reward drops up to 12% - 25% compared to the full-precision even after increasing its model size by 4 ×. We designed and implemented a scalable hardware accelerator which is configurable in terms of the number of processing elements (PEs) and memory data width

Perceptual quality assessment has always been challenging due to the difficulty in modeling the no-linear human visual system. With the diversity in the contents of multimedia signals, the conventional methods for traditional media seems no longer satisfying. One of these emerging media, is the screen content images/videos (SCINs), Containing texts and computer generated graphics, SCVs cannot be sufficiently expressed with features designed for natural sceneries. Therefore, new researches tried to devise objective quality assessment metrics, specificly for screen contents. Recently, a dataset was proposed for quality assessment of screen content videos. Since screen contents are full of structures that spread in cardinal directions, we were motivated to employ the horizontal and vertical subbands of the wavelet transform to characterize these types of visual contents. The features were incorporated in a full-reference method that showed promising results on the publicly available dataset for SCV quality assessment. The method can bo accessed via: https://***/motamedNia/QASCV.

Flight is an energetically expensive task. While aerial insects can effortlessly fly through natural environments, achieving power autonomous flights in insect-scale robots remains a major challenge. In prior works, we developed soft-actuated insect-scale aerial robots that demonstrated unique capabilities such as in-flight collision recovery and somersaults. However, the soft dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have low efficiency (< 20%) and require a high driving voltage (>600 V). These properties represent formidable obstacles for soft aerial robots to achieve power autonomous flights. In this work, we developed a 127 mg boost circuit that can convert a 7.7 V DC input into a 600 V and 400 Hz output for driving a 120 mg DEA. It has an equivalent capacitance and resistance of 20 nF and 5 $\mathbf{k}\Omega$ , respectively. The DEA is assembled into a 158 mg aerial robot, which can demonstrate liftoff while carrying the boost circuit as a payload. Although the robot remains tethered to an off-board power supply, this result represents a first step towards achieving power autonomy in soft aerial robots.

The design space of current quantum computers is expansive with no obvious winning solution. This leaves practitioners with a clear question: "What is the optimal system configuration to run an algorithm?". This paper explores hardware design trade-offs across NISQ systems to guide algorithm and hardware design choices. The evaluation is driven by algorithmic workloads and algorithm fidelity models which capture architectural features such as gate expressivity, fidelity, and crosstalk. We also argue that the criteria for gate design and selection should be extended from maximizing average fidelity to a more comprehensive approach that takes into account the gate expressivity with respect to algorithmic structures. We consider native entangling gates (CNOT, ECR, CZ, ZZ, XX, Sycamore, √iSWAP), proposed gates (B Gate, √4 CNOT, √8 CNOT), as well as parameterized gates (FSim, XY). Our methodology is driven by a custom synthesis driven circuit compilation workflow, which is able to produce minimal circuit representations for a given system configuration. By providing a method to evaluate the suitability of algorithms for hardware platforms, this work emphasizes the importance of hardware-software co-design for quantum computing. © 2024, CC BY.

Aerial insects demonstrate fast and precise heading control when they perform body saccades and rapid escape maneuvers. While insect-scale micro-aerial-vehicles (IMAVs) have demonstrated early results on heading control, their flight endurance and heading angle tracking accuracy remain far inferior to that of natural fliers. In this work, we present a long endurance sub-gram aerial robot that can demonstrate effective heading control during hovering flight. Through using a tilted wing stroke-plane design, our robot demonstrates a 10-second flight where it tracks a desired yaw trajectory with maximum and root-mean-square (RMS) error of $\boldsymbol{14.2^{\circ}}$ and $\boldsymbol{5.8}^{\mathrm{o}}$ . The new robot design requires 7% higher lift forces for enabling heading angle control, which creates higher stress on wing hinges and adversely influences robot endurance. To address this challenge, we developed novel 3-layered wing hinges that exhibit 1.82 times improvement of lifetime. With the new wing hinges, our robot demonstrates a 40-second hovering flight - the longest among existing sub-gram IMAVs. These results represent substantial improvement of flight capabilities in soft-actuated IMAVs, showing the potential of operating these insect-like fliers in cluttered natural environments.

In the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, finding implementations of quantum algorithms that mini-mize the number of expensive and error prone multi-qubit gates is vital to ensure computations produce meaningful outputs. Unitary synthesis, the process of finding a quantum circuit that implements some target unitary matrix, is able to solve this problem optimally in many cases. However, current bottom-up unitary synthesis algorithms are limited by their exponentially growing run times. We show how applying machine learning to unitary datasets permits drastic speedups for synthesis algorithms. This paper presents QSeed, a seeded synthesis algorithm that employs a learned model to quickly propose resource efficient circuit implementations of unitaries. QSeed maintains low gate counts and offers a speedup of 3.7 x in synthesis time over the state of the art for a 64 qubit modular exponentiation circuit, a core component in Shor's factoring algorithm. QSeed's performance improvements also generalize to families of circuits not seen during the training process.

High speed train (HST) communications with multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) techniques have shown great potential in system performance improvements. However, the challenges caused by higher pilot overhead and the belated channel state information (CSI) feedback in such high mobility scenarios still need to be further addressed. To this end, fully-decoupled radio access network (FD-RAN) with novel location-based feedback-free transmission scheme and cooperative transmission/reception in separated downlink/uplink networks is regarded as a promising solution. In this paper, we study the uplink precoding design in FD-RAN for HST communications. To capture the inherent relation between location and precoding, the line-of-sight (LoS) channel is derived from location and then fed into a proposed precoding design neural network (PDNN) which learns to jointly optimize the precoding scheme for all the multi-antenna mobile relays (MRs) in uplink MU-MIMO. We adopt a custom loss function to optimize the spectrum efficiency (SE). Moreover, a joint signal reception method is given, also based solely on the LoS channel derived from location, so as to avoid frequent pilot transmission. Simulation results show the advantages of FD-RAN against other architectures and demonstrate that our proposed PDNN achieves better performance than traditional precoding scheme in high mobility scenarios.
