France issues new rules for agrivoltaics
The French government has published long-anticipated rules defining conditions for installing PV panels on agricultural areas, with consideration for the coverage rate and acceptable loss of agricultural yield.

Distributed Optimization with Consensus Constraint for Multi-Robot Semantic Octree Mapping
This work develops a distributed optimization algorithm for multi-robot 3-D semantic mapping using streaming range and visual observations and single-hop communication. Our approach relies on gradient-based optimization of the observation log-likelihood of each robot subject to a map consensus constraint to build a common multi-class map of the environment. This formulation leads to closed-form updates which resemble Bayes rule with one-hop prior averaging. To reduce the amount of information e…

Effect of external characteristics of a virtual human being during the use of a computer-assisted therapy tool
Identification within media, whether with real or fictional characters, significantly impacts users, shaping their behavior and enriching their social and emotional experiences. Immersive media, like video games, utilize virtual entities such as agents, avatars, or NPCs to connect users with virtual worlds, fostering a heightened sense of immersion and identification. However, challenges arise in visually representing these entities, with design decisions crucial for enhancing user interaction.…

Climate change and its consequences on the climatic zoning of Coffea canephora in Brazil - Environment, Development and Sustainability
Coffee production has a large share in Brazilian agribusiness and a cultural and social importance in the country. Worldwide, Brazil is the largest producer of arabica coffee and the second largest of canephora species. In 2020, national production was 14.3 million bags of canephora coffee. Few studies on canephora coffee adaptation to climate changes can be found in the literature. Thus, our goal was to identify areas suitable for Coffea canephora cultivation in Brazil under CMIP-5 climate cha…
