Foundations for Energy-Aware Zero-Energy Devices: From Energy Sensing to Adaptive Protocols
Zero-energy devices (ZEDs) are key enablers of sustainable Internet of Things networks by operating solely on harvested ambient energy. Their limited and dynamic energy budget calls for protocols that are energy-aware and intelligently adaptive. However, designing effective energy-aware protocols for ZEDs requires theoretical models that realistically reflect device constraints. Indeed, existing approaches often oversimplify key aspects such as energy information (EI) acquisition, task-level va…

Learning Real-World Acrobatic Flight from Human Preferences
Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) enables agents to learn control policies without requiring manually designed reward functions, making it well-suited for tasks where objectives are difficult to formalize or inherently subjective. Acrobatic flight poses a particularly challenging problem due to its complex dynamics, rapid movements, and the importance of precise execution. In this work, we explore the use of PbRL for agile drone control, focusing on the execution of dynamic maneuve…

Cadus Kurs ist sehr fordernd aber unfassbar lehrreich. Von Mission Prep, Teamstrukturaufbau, Komm-Strukturen, effektive Funkkommunikation, Situation Assessment, Situation Reports erstellen, Konvoi fahren (und auf Unvorhergesehenes reagieren) bis zu Full Body Assessment bei Patient*innen, Versorgung großer Wunden (stop the bleed) mit Tourniquets war alles dabei.
Macht richtig Spaß und props an die Cadus Menschen die das alles ausgearbeitet haben.

The Xeno Sutra: Can Meaning and Value be Ascribed to an AI-Generated "Sacred" Text?
This paper presents a case study in the use of a large language model to generate a fictional Buddhist "sutr"', and offers a detailed analysis of the resulting text from a philosophical and literary point of view. The conceptual subtlety, rich imagery, and density of allusion found in the text make it hard to causally dismiss on account of its mechanistic origin. This raises questions about how we, as a society, should come to terms with the potentially unsettling possibility of a technology th…
