Deep neural network models of sound localization reveal how perception is adapted to real-world environments.

Nature human behaviour
Mammals localize sounds using information from their two ears. Localization in real-world conditions is challenging, as echoes provide erroneous information and noises mask parts of target sounds. To better understand real-world localization, we equi...

Assessment of medical waste generation, associated environmental impact, and management issues after the outbreak of COVID-19: A case study of the Hubei Province in China.

PloS one
COVID-19 greatly challenges the human health sector, and has resulted in a large amount of medical waste that poses various potential threats to the environment. In this study, we compiled relevant data released by official agencies and the media, an...

Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild.

Science robotics
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into underexplored areas. Exteroceptive perception is crucial for fast and energy-efficient locomotion: Perceiving th...

A Real-Time Zanthoxylum Target Detection Method for an Intelligent Picking Robot under a Complex Background, Based on an Improved YOLOv5s Architecture.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The target recognition algorithm is one of the core technologies of Zanthoxylum pepper-picking robots. However, most existing detection algorithms cannot effectively detect Zanthoxylum fruit covered by branches, leaves and other fruits in natural sce...

Detection of Pine Cones in Natural Environment Using Improved YOLOv4 Deep Learning Algorithm.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Achieving the rapid and accurate detection of pine cones in the natural environment is essential for yield estimation and automatic picking. However, the complex background and tiny target pose a significant challenge to pine cone detection. This pap...

Path Driven Dual Arm Mobile Co-Manipulation Architecture for Large Part Manipulation in Industrial Environments.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Collaborative part transportation is an interesting application as many industrial sectors require moving large parts among different areas of the workshops, using a large amount of the workforce on this tasks. Even so, the implementation of such kin...

The rise of intelligent matter.

Nature
Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the development of unconventional computing paradigms inspired by the abilities and energy efficiency of the brain. The human brain excels especially in computationally intensive cognitive tasks, such as p...

A Subvision System for Enhancing the Environmental Adaptability of the Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Visual information is indispensable to human locomotion in complex environments. Although amputees can perceive the environmental information by eyes, they cannot transmit the neural signals to prostheses directly. To augment human-prosthesis interac...

Robust Environmental Sound Recognition With Sparse Key-Point Encoding and Efficient Multispike Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
The capability for environmental sound recognition (ESR) can determine the fitness of individuals in a way to avoid dangers or pursue opportunities when critical sound events occur. It still remains mysterious about the fundamental principles of biol...
