arXiv:2602.15071v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: “Intangible Victory” is an audiovisual installation in the form of the intangible being of the Victory of Samothrace that uses interactive digital media. Specifically, through this installation, we redefine the visual symbolism of the ancient sculpture, paying attention to time as a wear factor (entropy) and the special importance of the void as an absence of the sculptural form. Emptiness completes the intangible essence of the sculpture in the field of symbolism as […]

arXiv:2602.15070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates a novel problem, namely the Uncertain Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling Problem (UAEOSSP). Unlike the static AEOSSP, it takes into account a range of uncertain factors (e.g., task profit, resource consumption, and task visibility) in order to reflect the reality that the actual information is inherently unknown beforehand. An effective Genetic Programming Hyper-Heuristic (GPHH) is designed to automate the generation of scheduling policies. The evolved scheduling policies can be utilized […]

arXiv:2602.15068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful mesh-free framework for solving ordinary and partial differential equations by embedding the governing physical laws directly into the loss function. However, their classical formulation relies on multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), whose fixed activation functions and global approximation biases limit performance in problems with oscillatory behavior, multiscale dynamics, or sharp gradients. In parallel, Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) have been introduced as a functionally adaptive architecture based on […]

arXiv:2602.15067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gliomas, among the most common primary brain tumors, vary widely in aggressiveness, prognosis, and histology, making treatment challenging due to complex and time-intensive surgical interventions. This study presents an Attention-Gated Recurrent Residual U-Net (R2U-Net) based Triplanar (2.5D) model for improved brain tumor segmentation. The proposed model enhances feature representation and segmentation accuracy by integrating residual, recurrent, and triplanar architectures while maintaining computational efficiency, potentially aiding in better treatment planning. The proposed method achieves […]

arXiv:2602.15063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Advances in large language models (LLMs) are profoundly reshaping the field of human-robot interaction (HRI). While prior work has highlighted the technical potential of LLMs, few studies have systematically examined their human-centered impact (e.g., human-oriented understanding, user modeling, and levels of autonomy), making it difficult to consolidate emerging challenges in LLM-driven HRI systems. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature search following the PRISMA guideline, identifying 86 articles that met our inclusion criteria. Our […]

arXiv:2602.15061v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of Self-Driving Laboratories (SDLs) transforms scientific discovery methodology by integrating AI with robotic automation to create closed-loop experimental systems capable of autonomous hypothesis generation, experimentation, and analysis. While promising to compress research timelines from years to weeks, their deployment introduces unprecedented safety challenges differing from traditional laboratories or purely digital AI. This paper presents Safe-SDL, a comprehensive framework for establishing robust safety boundaries and control mechanisms in AI-driven autonomous laboratories. We […]

arXiv:2602.15060v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon whole-body humanoid teleoperation remains challenging due to accumulated global pose drift, particularly on full-sized humanoids. Although recent learning-based tracking methods enable agile and coordinated motions, they typically operate in the robot’s local frame and neglect global pose feedback, leading to drift and instability during extended execution. In this work, we present CLOT, a real-time whole-body humanoid teleoperation system that achieves closed-loop global motion tracking via high-frequency localization feedback. CLOT synchronizes operator and […]

arXiv:2602.15059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Let $(u,p)$ solve the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a regime in which an energy inequality is available and each constant in that inequality is computable from declared data. We construct a reduced-order model $u_n$ constrained so that its discrete evolution satisfies a certified energy inequality. This certificate yields global-in-time boundedness of the ROM energy and a regime-of-validity test that fails when a stated hypothesis fails. It follows that one can attach a computable […]

arXiv:2602.15055v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the artificial intelligence space, as we transition from isolated large language models to autonomous agents capable of complex reasoning and tool use. While foundational architectures and local context management protocols have been established, the challenge of cross-platform, decentralized, and secure interaction remains a significant barrier to the realization of a truly Agentic Web. Building upon the foundations of AI agent architectures and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for multi-agent coordination, this paper […]

arXiv:2602.15049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimal Access Point (AP) selection is crucial for accurate indoor localization, yet it is constrained by budget, creating a trade-off between localization accuracy and deployment cost. Classical approaches to AP selection are often computationally expensive, hindering their application in large-scale 3D indoor environments. In this paper, we introduce a quantum APs selection algorithm under a budget constraint. The proposed algorithm leverages quantum annealing to identify the most effective subset of APs allowed within […]
