UDON: Uncertainty-weighted Distributed Optimization for Multi-Robot Neural Implicit Mapping under Extreme Communication Constraints
Multi-robot mapping with neural implicit representations enables the compact reconstruction of complex environments. However, it demands robustness against communication challenges like packet loss and limited bandwidth. While prior works have introduced various mechanisms to mitigate communication disruptions, performance degradation still occurs under extremely low communication success rates. This paper presents UDON, a real-time multi-agent neural implicit mapping framework that introduces …

Wildfire along Grand Canyon’s North Rim destroys historic lodge and is spreading rapidly
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A wildfire along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim grew rapidly over the weekend and destroyed a historic lodge and visitors center. Firefighters are working to slow down the fire that began on July 4 after a lightning strike. The fire is in a less popular area of the Grand Canyon that […]

Synergetic Empowerment: Wireless Communications Meets Embodied Intelligence
Wireless communication is evolving into an agent era, where large-scale agents with inherent embodied intelligence are not just users but active participants. The perfect combination of wireless communication and embodied intelligence can achieve a synergetic empowerment and greatly facilitate the development of agent communication. An overview of this synergetic empowerment is presented, framing it as a co-evolutionary process that transforms wireless communication from a simple utility into t…

Practical Routing and Criticality in Large-Scale Quantum Communication Networks
The efficacy of a communication network hinges upon both its physical architecture and the protocols that are employed within it. In the context of quantum communications, there exists a fundamental rate-loss tradeoff for point-to-point quantum channels such that the rate for distributing entanglement, secret keys, or quantum states decays exponentially with respect to transmission distance. Quantum networks are the solution to overcome point-to-point limitations, but they simultaneously invite…

CLAImate: AI-Enabled Climate Change Communication through Personalized and Localized Narrative Visualizations
Communicating climate change remains challenging, as climate reports, though rich in data and visualizations, often feel too abstract or technical for the public. Although personalization can enhance communication, most tools still lack the narrative and visualization tailoring needed to connect with individual experiences. We present CLAImate, an AI-enabled prototype that personalizes conversation narratives and localizes visualizations based on users' climate knowledge and geographic location…
