Earth Observation (EO) offers valuable insights into urban environments, and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) amplifies these benefits but also brings potential risks. AI practitioners often face challenges in envisioning diverse uses and conducting thorough impact assessments of their technology, particularly for less-studied uses. To address this, we developed UrbanGen, a framework validated through studies with urban EO practitioners and compliance experts. Practitioners and experts found UrbanGen valuable both for broad thinking and reflection by listing realistic AI uses for EO (91% accuracy) and identifying under-researched uses (57% accuracy), and for in-depth thinking and decision-making by providing risk (93% accuracy) and benefit (80% accuracy) assessments. UrbanGen highlighted less-studied and upcoming uses, such as analyzing foot traffic in retail areas, monitoring environmental law compliance, and detecting crowd sizes at election rallies. While most EO uses support sustainable cities, such novel uses pose higher risks, particularly in terms of surveillance, power imbalances, and decision-making detached from on-the-ground realities. Drawing from these insights, we propose an impact assessment checklist to help the EO community maximize benefits and reduce risks from AI deployments.

Motion systems are a vital part of many industrial processes. However, meeting the increasingly stringent demands of these systems, especially concerning precision and throughput, requires novel control design methods that can go beyond the capabilities of traditional solutions. Traditional control methods often struggle with the complexity and position-dependent effects inherent in modern motion systems, leading to compromises in performance and a laborious task of controller design. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a novel structured feedback control auto-tuning approach for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) motion systems. By leveraging frequency response function (FRF) estimates and the linear-parameter-varying (LPV) control framework, the proposed approach automates the controller design, while providing local stability and performance guarantees. Key innovations include norm-based magnitude optimization of the sensitivity functions, an automated stability check through a novel extended factorized Nyquist criterion, a modular structured MIMO LPV controller parameterization, and a controller discretization approach which preserves the continuous-time (CT) controller parameterization. The proposed approach is validated through experiments using a state-of-the-art moving-magnet planar actuator prototype.

In the domain of high reliability applications, Burn-In testing (BI) is always present since it is one of the prime countermeasures against the infant mortality phenomenon. Traditional static BI testing proves to be inefficient for modern circuit designs. As the devices’ feature size scales down and their structural and architectural complexity increases, so does the complexity and cost of the BI test. Different BI methods are employed by the industry where stimuli are also applied to the devices under test (DUTs) in order to effectively stress and stimulate all nets of the design. One known industry practice resorts to Design for Testability (DfT) infrastructures (e.g., scan) and is based on the application of test vectors at low frequency to excite the DUT as much as possible with the goal of switching each net of the design at least once. In this paper we consider the case where the layout of the circuit is known and propose two novel methods able to automatically produce functional stimuli to switch pairs of neighboring nodes (i.e., nodes that are placed within a specified distance in the DUT) in short periods of time. This solution has been shown to be able to trigger some latent defects in a circuit better than other methods. As a case study, we target functional units within a RISC-V processor (RI5CY). We show that the functional stimuli generated by the exact method described in the paper are able to achieve optimal results (i.e., the maximum functional switching of neighboring pairs), thus maximizing the chance that their at-speed application can activate weak points in the circuit.
