Learning human-to-robot handovers through 3D scene reconstruction
Learning robot manipulation policies from raw, real-world image data requires a large number of robot-action trials in the physical environment. Although training using simulations offers a cost-effective alternative, the visual domain gap between simulation and robot workspace remains a major limitation. Gaussian Splatting visual reconstruction methods have recently provided new directions for robot manipulation by generating realistic environments. In this paper, we propose the first method f…

Harnack inequality for degenerate fully nonlinear parabolic equations
We consider degenerate fully nonlinear parabolic equations, which generalize the p-parabolic equation with $p>2$ to nondivergence form operators. We prove an intrinsic Harnack inequality for nonnegative solutions and a weak Harnack inequality for nonnegative supersolutions. These results can be seen as the nondivergence form counterparts of the results by DiBenedetto, Gianazza and Vespri (Acta Math. 2008) and Kuusi (Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa 2008).

Honey bees remove 80% of pollen—leaving native bees with nothing
Feral honey bees, once celebrated for their agricultural value, are now threatening native ecosystems in Southern California by monopolizing pollen sources and overwhelming native pollinators. A new study reveals they remove up to 80% of pollen in a single day, severely disrupting food sources for over 700 species of native bees. Despite their benefits to agriculture, these invasive bees dominate nearly all bee biomass in the region and even produce lower-quality offspring when pollinating nati…
